Show a non-fiction book on an interesting topic such as National Geographic Little Kids First Big Book of Bugs by Catherine Hughes or The Mystery of Magnets by Melvin Berger. Explain that this book doesn't have a story about a character but includes many interesting facts about the topic and lots of illustrations and photographs. Show them the table of contents and the index along with page numbers. Choose a section from the index, turn to that page in the book and share the facts and photos. This could be done in large group.
