What This Book Teaches Best
Labels are “like a clue” that give “important information” and “facts about an object.”
Labels tell what is inside or what something is (e.g., a box labeled “Orange,” a jar labeled “strawberry jam”).
Labels and names help people stay organized and find the right item (a bin labeled “Toys,” a library label that says “Fiction.”).
Labels can keep people safe and help them make careful choices (a sign that says “Wet Floor.”).
Reading labels helps every day because labels “give facts and solve mysteries.”
