A Nonfiction Book Report is a written essay that discusses the contents and topics of a nonfiction book - a work based on real people, events, and places. Students of all ages can benefit from critical evaluation of nonfiction literature - they get to learn and analyze new information practising their research skills, expand their vocabulary, understand the connection between the events depicted in the book and see how they are linked to their personal experiences, and share their opinion about the text they were given.

To create an essay of this kind, you need to have a structure - begin with an outline you will be able to refer to throughout the process of writing. Describe the book (from the name of the writer to the topics they chose to focus on), tell the reader about the reviews the book has received, and indicate your own thoughts about the work in question.
Depending on the task given by the teacher, the student may list new words and concepts they have learned while reading, summarize the details that were previously unknown to them, or compare this nonfiction book with other similar books. Make sure your report contains an introduction that clearly states what the book is about as well as a conclusion that persuades others to read the book - or avoid it if you strongly believe the author failed to present their ideas correctly.
