Cindy, from my guess, these may not be captions, but actual non-fiction text.
It is impossible to know without seeing the book, so if it is two blind
volunteers, I would not add caption without confirmation of what is caption vs.
text. The only clear exception being in series books if there are paragraphs
on pages and then a single line in italics (like in Nancy Drew books) on a
page, those are captions 99% of the time.
Hope that helps!
