Toddler books with a positive female role model

[tinypumpkin]

I wondered if anyone had any good recommendations for books for a two year old which show positive female role models. I have googled but it is always good to get personal recommendations. Thank you :)

The Night Pirates is lovely. All about a wee boy who joins a rough tough group of girl pirates who don't tell him to go away because he is 'just' a boy.

My DD is a huge tinkerbell fan - she has male & female friends, everyone has their role to play in fairyland which is ruled be the fairy queen - none of this waiting around doing housework till the handsome prince turns up!

Barbar and the Wully Wully - it's a lovely story and Barbar's daughter Flora has a very positive role in it.

I would recommend 'The Worst Princess' by Anna Kemp... it's all about Princess Sue, who is fed up of waiting for her Prince Charming to arrive. However, when he does, she is not impressed and takes matters into her own hands! :)

The Trouble with Mum by Babette Cole is good.

Come Away From the Water Shirley and Time to Get Out of the Bath Shirley by John Burmingham are both very good.

Some of the Janet and Alan Ahlberg Happy Families series like Mrs Plug the Plumber and Miss Jump the Jockey.
