My DD is 3.7 and I want to update her book collection, or add to it at least, keeping her old ones for when DS is older.

What would you recommend for her age range?

DD1 is 3.3 and love rhyme book still So we have just bought some o the Nick Sharratt books - Shark in the Park and Never use a knife and fork. She is suddenly getting the humour :) DH has also started reading her chapter books like the BFG and Giraffe Pelly and Me so she has to remember what we read about the night before before we read the net bit.

Check out the book people & red house! Definitely get hold of Julia Donaldons books. My girls 6&2 both love Mr Men & the older made us read Dora repeatedly when she was 3. Dd2s current favourite are the traditional fairy tales like three little pigs etc.

Meg and Mog are winners with DS, as are the GOssie Goose books.
