Let’s go step by step to label the parts of the book and answer the question.
First, look at the big words on the front of the book:
“Life in the Arctic” — that’s what the book is called. So that’s the
Title.
Right under it says:
“by: Sam Johnson” — that tells us who wrote the book. That person is the
Author.
Now, look at the whole outside part you’re seeing — the colorful (or black-and-white!) picture with the polar bear and ice. That entire front part is called the
Front Cover.
On the side of the book (the thin edge you see when books are on a shelf), there’s an arrow pointing to it. That’s the
Spine — it holds the pages together and often has the title too.
Finally, the last question:
Is this a fiction or nonfiction book?
Fiction = made-up stories (like dragons or talking animals).
Nonfiction = real facts about real things (like animals, places, science).
This book is called “Life in the Arctic” — it’s probably telling us real facts about how animals live in cold places like the North Pole. The cover shows a real animal (polar bear) in its real habitat. So it’s likely
nonfiction.
✔ Let’s double-check:
- Title → “Life in the Arctic” ✔️
- Author → “Sam Johnson” ✔️
- Front Cover → the whole front picture ✔️
- Spine → the side edge ✔️
- Nonfiction → because it’s about real life in the Arctic ✔️
Final Answer:
Title: Life in the Arctic
Author: Sam Johnson
Front Cover: the entire front image with the polar bear
Spine: the side edge of the book
Is this a fiction or nonfiction book? Nonfiction
