Elephant and piggies books Monkey and cake books as well
Board books are out for the most part. We’ve been going to the library once a week and pulling out about 20 books at a time (she reads three every night before bed). It’s been great having a library close by.
The entire Beatrix Potter collection Dogger, by Shirley Hughes (she also has a beautiful book called Out and About) The Velveteen Rabbit Only One Woof by James Herriott
I guess she's going through her British classics phase? Oh, for a more modern book, Hey Granddude! has been a big hit.
We're reading a lot of books about fall right now. Our favorites have been -
Fletcher and the Falling Leaves Sneeze, Big Bear, Sneeze Yellow Time Miss Maple's Seeds Little Tree Fall is Not Easy Hungry Bunny
My 4.5-year-old is also very into Jan Brett, Elsa Beskow, and Astrid Lindgren books. Oh and then Little Bear, Mercy Watson, Elephant and PIggie, and Frog and Toad.
loira - I love Shirley Hughes and currently have Out and About checked out from the library right now and have been using it at our poetry teatime each week. I adored the Alfie Books growing up and need to find more of them to share with my daughter.

When did you start reading Lindgren? I really want to start but not sure if the books are still a bit advanced for her.
My 3 year old has been really into Dr Seuss books, which are not my favorite, haha. I want to hide Green Eggs and Ham at this point! The ones I like to read are the P.D. Eastman/Dr Seuss books. He gets excited about his favorite character books, like PJ Masks, Paw Patrol, Thomas, etc. that come in early reader versions, golden books, etc.
He has a book called A Ball For Daisy that has no words and he really loves it because he can “read” it by describing the pictures and emotions himself.
We have ABC place books, like C is for Chicago that both of my kids love those.

We have the picture book versions of Pippi (called Do You Know Pippi Longstocking?) and also Lotta's Bike. We have read Children of Noisy Village together, and she loved that one. It was our first chapter book. I don't think she's ready for the chapter books about Pippi yet. Children of Noisy Village is a great one to read aloud, the chapters are each like a little story and it was fairly simple and easy to understand. Warning - the Christmas chapter mentions Santa not being real (I grew up reading the British translation which is slightly different and I'm not sure if it has that line in it? Or perhaps just says Tomten still instead of Santa? Unfortunately I can't find the British one anywhere for a decent price) but anyhow - we read it and blew right past it and she didn't even ask any questions. Which makes me wonder how much of it she really takes in, actually.
