There is some fantastic Anzac Day literature appropriate for young readers.
For the slightly older primary to middle secondary (and even adults will love it) there is:
Gallipoli The Landing: Z Beach True Comic by Hugh Dolan & Mal Gardiner. It is a new release and is available online and at news agencies.

Hugh spoke to Jon Faine on ABC774's The Conversation Hour last week about the comic. The audio is well worth a listen and could definitely be used in the classroom.

612ABC Brisbane has also identified some great children's literature to use as a base to explore Anzac Day.

Author Jackie French has tackled the subject in a book called "A Day To Remember" - The Story of Anzac Day".

Hope your school and local libraries have copies.
