Books for 4 yr old girl?

[Lexiejack]

I'm looking for some new books for my step daughter who's 4. Would prefer a series of books that way when she's with us I can get a new one for the next visit etc. Most of the books we have currently she's outgrown. Did try Enid blyton's Amelia Jane book with her but think it was a bit dated for her :( any suggestions would be brilliant!!

Dick King Smith's Sophie books might hit the spot? IIRC Sophie is 4 in the first book, and the stories follow her til she is about 6. I'm not sure when they date from (maybe 80s?) but certainly much less old fashioned than Enid Blyton.

Or what about Anna Hibiscus - lovely stories, there are quite a few of them now I think (newish series), and I would imagine any little girl would like them.

I loved the Sophie books!! Think I'll give them a try. Thank you

Katie morag stories are lovely.

My dd is really enjoying teddy Robinson stories. It is really nice to read for me as well.

I second my naughty little sister,my four year old Dd is really enjoying them.

Ooh I'd forgotten Ponder and William!

I used to like Mrs Pepperpot stories, they do versions with lots of pictures in them now too. I wasn't sure if they'd be too old for my DS (4) but he enjoyed them.
