Can anyone recommend a book for a little girl that i could give as a present. She is 3.
10 years ago, my sons were that age and they loved:
The Gruffalo
Smiley Shark
We're Going on a Bear Hunt
Room on the Broom
etc

I think they are all fairly unisex, but maybe there are others now that are better, and maybe there are ones that would appeal mainly to girls that I never noticed??

Paper Dolls and You Choose get my vote too.
The High Street by Alice Melvin is good too.
Also one called Wonderful World which is a book of the Louis Armstrong Lyrics and comes with a CD of the song. That's a nice gift.

Room on the Broom is always a winner

How about Hairy Mclary and friends? By Lynley Dodd. My girls loved them and they are brilliant to read out loud.

Aliens love underpants is another firm favourite in our house.

And for a little girl, we love The Worst Princess, which is about a princess who finds the prince who saved her very boring and ends up running away with the dragon.

Paper Dolls is a gorgeous book for a little girl
Mine also loved Topsy and Tim even if they have all been rewritten to be politically correct

How about the newest Fairytale Hairdresser book? They are by Abie Longstaff.

'There's a bear on my chair' by Ross Collins is fab! 'Oi Frog' and its sequel 'Oi Dog' by Kes Gray are also great but quite popular so I'd get a gift receipt with them in case you have to exchange.
