Children's non-fiction literature

Children's non-fiction literature (also called informational) is the meeting of the genres children's literature and non-fiction. Its primary function is to describe, inform, explain, persuade, and instruct about aspects of the real world, but much non-fiction also entertains.[1][2]

Generally books of this genre feature simpler words and ideas, as well as pictures. It is, however, a very broad genre, involving several of the same topics that can be encountered in normal nonfiction, including biographies, diaries, encyclopedias, handbooks, history and more of the like.
