...narcissist that she is.
any ideas? she is 5.6, and doesn't mind if it's a picture book/early reader, or a longer book for me to read to her.

My Naughty Little Sister was my first thought, too.

Off the top of my head i can only think of:
My Naughty Little Sister
The Dotty and Bluebell ones by Jools Oliver

Will have a look at the bookshelf later though for more ideas

What about the Frances books by Russell Hoban? Frances has a little sister (different ages in the different books). They are picture books but each has a proper story, some fairly long. There is a real focus on the relationship between the sisters. They are old classics.

Chapter books would include the later Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf books (these are brilliant - girl outwits wolf in every story and she has a younger sister) or the more dated but lovely My Naughty Little Sister.

thank-you both. i might get the toddler one for dd2

onceortwice, i've googled, but i've yet to see a personalised book website that will let me do a sisters storyline. do you have any recommendations?

we have this, and both dds have loved it, but it is a very basic book - one sentence on each page really. more a toddler book, imo, but it fits the bill otherwise.

Why not go to one of those websites where you can personalise your own books?

It can be as narcisistic as she likes
