3. The title refers to the name of the book. It is usually placed at the top part of the front cover of the book.

4. The author is the person who wrote the book. The author’s name usually appears below the title or is found at the bottom part of the front cover.

5. The illustrator is the person who drew pictures or images found in the book. Sometimes, the author and the illustrator refer to the same person.
