what age is pippi longstocking for?

tamum · 27/09/2006 18:01

Milly Molly Mandy, too, and there are some stories I used to adore when I was that age that dd loves called Meet Mary Kate .

hana · 27/09/2006 18:02

think pippi's a bit old for 4 year olds, I'd say more 7 or 8

Cat in the Hat is only one of dozens that Dr Seuss has written - lots of others out there !

hulababy · 27/09/2006 18:02

Oh yes, forgot MMM. DD also likes Flat Stabley.

hermykne · 27/09/2006 18:05

hana · 27/09/2006 18:08

what about the charlie and lola books? dd1 has just 'found' them and is a big fan, we have 3 of them

fartmeistergeneral · 27/09/2006 18:19

usborne puzzle books are a must for everyone.

nailpolish · 28/09/2006 08:18

thank you everyone, lots of great suggestions

hermykne, hope your dd has a nice birthday, dd1's bd is thursday. are you finding it is as hard as me in choosing a present? there is so much out there! i have decided to (maybe) get the books and the littlest pet shop or animal hospital or polly pocket
