Literary genre

Imagine you are playing with your toys and you have different types of toys like dolls, cars, and blocks. Just like your toys, books also have different types or categories called literary genres. A genre is a way of grouping books together that share similar characteristics or features.

For example, just like toys, books can be grouped into different categories such as adventure, fantasy, science fiction, mystery, romance, horror, comedy, and non-fiction. Each genre has its own special traits, like adventure stories often have exciting and dangerous journeys with characters who are brave and daring. Fantasy stories take place in imaginary worlds with magical creatures and often fulfill dreams of great heroes. Science fiction stories are set in the future or in outer space, and often include robots or aliens. Mystery stories are all about solving a puzzle or figuring out a secret. Romance stories usually have a love story as the main theme. Horror stories give you goosebumps, by scaring you with monsters or ghosts. And finally, non-fiction books are like true stories, they are about real people, real events and real things.

In short, just like toys have different categories, books have different categories called genres, and each genre has their own unique features that make them special.
