When we think of nonfiction books, we most often think about books that explain facts in a format called “expository nonfiction.” These are the texts that explain concepts like the Bill of Rights or describe the planets of the solar system. They can use techniques like listing facts, analyzing causes and effects, or comparing and contrasting two things.
