I'm sure this thread has been done before so apologies.....

Can anyone recommend some good books for 2.5 year old DD, which have strong - brave, clever, kind hearted - female role models?

Appreciate that literature doesn't exactly need a gender bias, however, female characters really resonate with her (probably because she wants to differentiate herself from her older brother).

The Sophie books by Dick King Smith are great. They are chapter books but not long chapters. Can't quite remember when mine started listening to longer stories but they are lovely (think there's 6 books - we have a couple of 3-in-1 ones)
