Nonfiction and Fiction
A nonfiction book is about true things. All
biographies and autobiographies are nonfiction. Things
written in the newspaper are nonfiction. Newspaper articles
about weather, sports, and births/deaths are a few examples of
nonfiction. Books written about history are also nonfiction.
A fiction book is make-believe. Fairy tales are
fiction. Some fiction books are Stuart Little and Frog
and Toad. Sometimes fiction books almost seem
real. This is because not everything in a fiction book is
make-believe. If you use your imagination and write a
book about a fantastic trip to Africa, some parts of it are
facts. The names of the cities you visit and the
animals you see are real. However the trip is make-believe
because you create it with your imagination.
The next time you read a book ask yourself if you're
reading a nonfiction or a fiction book?
