Imagine opening a giant book with 100 pages to find a story about sharks. Flipping through every single page one by one would take forever!
Books have special secret tools to help you jump right to the page you want.
Page Numbers
A page number tells you exactly where you are in a book. They count in order: 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.
You can usually find them hiding at the very bottom or top corner of each page.

Knowing the page numbers is great, but how do you know which number to look for in the first place?
The Table of Contents
A table of contents is a handy list at the very front of the book that shows all the chapter names and their page numbers.
Think of it like a menu at a restaurant: it shows you what is inside and tells you where to find it.
