How This Book Was Made by Mac Barnett

On the title page of How This Book Was Made, it says that it is based on a true story. That usually means that while a lot of the story is true, sometimes the author puts in things to make the story more exciting or interesting. 

The book actually does a pretty good job of teaching how an idea in an author's head becomes a book in your hands. So here's my challenge to you: 

1.) Can you tell which parts of the book are nonfiction? (The real parts.) 

2.) Can you tell which parts of the book are fiction? (The made-up parts.)

You can leave a comment below this post to share your thoughts or you can talk to someone else about what you saw and heard in the book. Thanks for watching, everyone!
