Nonfiction

Believe it or not, when we hear the word nonfiction, we tend to push it away. It doesn't fascinate much people as the fiction stories do. But I stop and realize that in the literacy world there needs to be a balance; a balance between the real world and the fantasy world. Nonfiction can be about biographies and facts of all sorts of things. I think that it is important to feed true facts to our children so that they may gain knowledge. Visual information is the main ingredient in nonfiction books. Without illustrations, the books would be pointless to our young readers. Illustrations and other visual material are an increasingly vital feature of nonfiction books. Today's books are filled with extraordinary photographs and illustrations. It clarifies and expands the understanding of the readers. It is also always interesting in reading about other people's lives and the experiences they went through.
