What this lesson teaches

A book has a front cover, a back cover, and a title page inside.

Worked examples

The front cover shows the title, and the back cover is where the book ends.

Example 2

The title page is right at the beginning and tells you the book's name again, plus who made it.

Example 3

The spine is the skinny edge. That is the part you see when the book is on a shelf.

Practice questions

  2. Where is the back cover?
  3. Find the title page near the front.
