Fiction Genre Books Aim to Entertain while Nonfiction books Aim to Inform or Teach


Knowledge is power
and knowing the difference between fiction and nonfiction is a great first step in learning how to access literature versus information.

FICTION BOOKS:

The Wonkey Donkey by Craig Smith, illustrator Katz Cowley for example is a fictional picture book.  Author Cowley aims to entertain his readers.  Check below for this grandma's reaction to Mr. Smith's hilarious book:

NONFICTION BOOKS:

Information or nonfiction books, on the other hand, aim to inform or teach about a topic.  Books about farm or pet donkeys would have the dewey decimal number of 636.182.  Here are the search results for "donkeys" in our Bastion library, and here are the Okanagan Regional Library donkey resources
