Fiction
Come on Daisy - Jane Simmons
Fantastic illustrations, and simple plot which children understand [about not listening to their parents –getting lost]. It’s also part of a series of books about the main character. Can be adapted very easily as T4W text. Could be linked into a theme on Water/ Farms. Very simple, one line of information reports could be used as a model text.
