17 month old ready to move up a stage with her reading - what books?

my dd is 17 months and has most of the reccommended books on here and seems ready to move up a stage, in that she is now bored of these books.

She currently has (and is bored of): all the 'that's not my...', wibbly pig books, maisy books, goodnight moon, peepo, hungry caterpillar, spot, ITNG books, baby einstein books.

I recently bought her 'the tiger who came to tea', the little princess series and 'the gruffalo' and she LOVES them.

So can anyone recommend similar books for her to read?

Thanks

Don't go OP - I'll admit the title did make me giggle (imagined her finishing the famous five and wanting to move onto Tolstoy), but there are some lovely books suggested here.

Try Good Days Bad Days it's a really lovely book but the picture of the children burying their dead hamster brings a lump to my throat every time!

Oh, and definitely don't throw any away - mine love revisiting books over the years

alittlebitshy I didn't know of the First Little House books existance until I saw one at a friend's house - she'd been given it and had no idea who Laura was! Imagine! I've tracked down lots via Amazon for my DTs (both girls) Did you have the ones she wrote about her husband? There are some of the My First Little House series about him too (proper book was "Farmer Boy") which you DS might like - lots of animals and adventure stuff. On Amazon. Have to admit I was tearful when first reading them to my girls -and was sooooo pleased when they liked them!
