A children's book aimed at about reception to year 2 which I have read is 'Three Hens and a Peacock' by Lester L. Laminack. It is a fun text about what happens when silly farm animals decide to swap places and have to do someone else's job. Initially the farm animals were at peace doing their own jobs until suddenly a peacock is entered into the story by falling off the back of a truck. This comical story was an amusing read with many exciting aspects. The underlying plot I believe is when we underestimate the value of what other people do and I believe this book addresses the importance of everyone doing what they do best. I think this is a great story to get students engaged with because of the comical aspect. It is extremely important for young people to be exposed to literature and be excited by it so it develops their skills.
