Kavi Sorts Two Books

Kavi the owl has two books on the shelf. One begins "Once upon a time…" with a dragon who could talk. The other has a title, real photos, and labels that tell true things about dragonflies. "One is a made-up story," says Kavi, "and one is an information book full of facts. Let's learn how to tell them apart!"
