This chapter was very interesting about books that give out information and helps inform people about things.
I was interested that the book features a section on dinosaur books. I find that looking at nonfiction books with lots of pictures is an activity that includes all levels of readers and students like to do it together with a high level reader doing most of the reading of the text. I have always tried to use informational books as additions to which ever subject I happened to be trying to learn. That way I have more than one source to go by and just rely on the Internet. Teaching math or science is great but having other book to reinforce the materials being taught help children see it differently. It will show them that there is more ways to learn about math or science or anything. You need to explore your child to more things. This chapter really helps discuss how you can learn about the human or animal body. Informational books are greats ways to teach children.
