s/o Books for 4.5 y.o. girl

[gnomesweetgnome]

My SIL wants some books that her DD can read to herself. She's 4.5 and now wants to read independently (and she is able to!). Any suggestions for specific books she may like? I'm not sure how to figure out what she would actually be able to read on her own.

I loved reading Little Bear when I was about that age.

The Little Princess or a Secret Garden? Do they still make the American Girl historical books? I used to love those.

I was just about to say this!

They have a handful of versions. Small books, thick chapter-like books with pictures, etc. B&N has the big hard cover chapter style on the value rack in the back of their stores right now, and have for probably 6 months.

On Amazon look up I Can Read Level 1 - if she's already reading some words on her own. If not, I often recommend the Flip-A-Word series for very beginning readers.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! I'll take a look at the recommendations.
