This book shows kids how to write a book report from organizational chart to finished product. The authors provide a sample organizer and show how it grows as the report grows. It is simple and easy to understand.

I especially like the checklist for kids to make sure that they've included everything a book report calls for and the reminder that opinions, and the reasons for them, are important.

I think this is a great book for beginners at writing books reports. It is short reading but give charts for both fiction and non-fiction book reports. Mine are a bit older but we are going to back track and use this to build off of because the simplicity doesn't make it look daunting. Especially if you have ones that do not like writing.
