The text displayed in the “Giant Squid” is accurate because Candace Fleming presents the information in a manner that isn’t generalized. Fleming states factual information about giant squids that is certainly known like their physical attributes, how they swim and eat prey. Fleming then continues to even provide information on things that are unknown about giant squids. She does so by using a theory technique to demonstrate that there is still information about giant squids that remains a mystery, due to the lack of research that is yet to be found. Not only does the factual information aid in this nonfiction piece, but so does the organization of it. Fleming organizes the book in a way that draws children to read this non-fiction material.
