I’m just a few words, bold and clear,
The first thing seen when I appear.
Look close, think twice, and you might see,
The kind of story I’m meant to be.

What Is: The Title:

That's right, generally speaking the cover will give hints to what the book is about. 

Think Hunger Games, The Diary of Anne Franke, Charlottes Web

I show a glimpse of what’s inside,
A hint of where the tales reside.
My colors, images, mood, and tone —
All reveal the world I own.

The cover! 

The cover will also give a hint about what the book is about:

Think Goosebumps, Diary Of A Wimpy Kid, or Eragon.

As Oasis once sang, do not turn back in anger. But when we are trying to figure out what a book is about we can look at this part of the book!

What Is: The BACK of the book. 


The back will have a blurb that tells us a summary of the book!

Complete the last line of this poem to give you another tool to use to discover what genre the book is: 


I whisper clues from page to page,
Revealing my world, my tone, my stage.
Read just a little — not too far —
And you’ll find out what kind I are.

I may sound like a pirate, but that I am not.
The answer to this you've read quite a lot.
Relax, Chill It's not that hard.
If it's the book genre you're after-
You might as well read the first few.......
