A book report consists of the following components.

INTRODUCTION: Every book report needs an attention-grabbing introduction. This paragraph should include all the key information about the book including the title, author, genre and the year it was published in. Children might also want to include a comment or two about why they chose to pick up and read this particular story. For example, is it written by their favorite author or focus on their favorite hobby or interest?

SUMMARY: Now is the time to summarize some key events and features of the book. For example, where and when the story is set, the genre, the tone and who narrates the story. Once they have read this paragraph, the reader should have a clear outline of the book. A summary should effectively explain all this information in a clear and concise way, taking the most important information and ignoring the less important details.
