Parts of a Book
Front and back cover
Title page and body text
Table of contents
Glossary, and index
These are parts of a book
These are parts of a book
These are parts of a book
parts of a book, parts of a book
Look at the front cover
Tell me what do you see
Title, Illustrator, Author
Of a certain story
But hold on flip it over
And you’ll find a summary
This is how you know
If this is what you want to read
Now lift up the cover
And you’ll see the title page
It shows the title, Illustrator,
Author, and the publisher name
The table of contents
Shows the chapters on each page number
The body text
Is what the audience
Will read and ponder
The glossary holds all
Those tricky words and what they mean
The index shows the subjects, names, and place
Tofind a certain thing
