question

You want to learn about sea animals. Which book should you pick?

key idea

When you read, it can be helpful to look at the front of a book. The cover and title of a book can sometimes tell you what the book is about.

For example, take a look at the front of this book:

A front cover of a book shows a few different zoo animals. The title is "A Trip to the Zoo".

The title of the book is A Trip to the Zoo. It also has pictures of different animals, like a lion and a monkey. You might choose this book if you want to learn about animals at the zoo!

When you read, it is also helpful to look at the pictures. The pictures can help you learn more about what you are reading.

For example, take a look at this picture:

A page in a book has the heading "Larger than life!" Under the heading there is a giraffe. Next to the giraffe, there are three people standing on top of each other, making them the same height as the giraffe.

This picture helps you see how tall a giraffe is. It shows that a giraffe is about as tall as three people!

solution

The cover and title tell you that the book is about the sea. So, you are likely to learn about sea animals in this book.
