Hi there! I am Studyfin. Let us explore different kinds of books today!
Books come in different types. We call these types genres. Each genre has its own special clues.
A mystery is a story about a puzzle. It has clues and a detective who solves the problem.
Fantasy stories have magic in them. You might see talking animals, giants, or flying castles.
A biography is a true story. It tells about a real person's life and what they did.
