DD is 2.7 and I would like to get her some more books with fiesty/non-stereotypical female central characters in. She has one which she adores called "Stella from Earth" about a little girl who blasts off into space and finds some aliens, so I'd like some in a similar vein. Any suggestions please?

you mean 'Amelia Jane' books I think Mitchy - they are chapter books and I recently bought them for my 4 year old (to read to her, not a child genious!) My 2 year old listens but I think they're a bit beyond her at the moment, think OP is looking for picture books for a 2.7 yr old?

I used to really loathe Charlie and Lola, but they've kinda grown on me. Didn't like the look of the books to be honest - it was the TV shows and their voices that won me over

I think Lola rather polarises people...

Thank you for all the suggestions, will be filling a basket on amazon tonight! Although, no offence, but not Lola, I said feisty not annoying

Oh Lord, compo - I'd rather dd didn't have Lola as a role model! Very harsh, I know - the tv programme just really really bugs me.

Just came on to say Night Pirates, my two boys love this.

compo · 04/02/2009 17:15

Charlie and Lola books

Habbibu · 04/02/2009 17:13

And the Night Pirates has a ship crewed and captained by rough, tough, little girl pirates.

Emily Brown books by Cressida Cowell. She's very straight talking.
