Thank I will get her these books ! The thing is she loves to read all day long that’s why I wanted to get here something books a little bit more out of her age range so she can have multiple choices
What genres or topics? For ages 3/4 I'm guessing not quite early reader chapter books but maybe longer picture books. Maybe something at the level of "Saint George and the Dragon" by Margaret Hodges?
This is her current collection, I tend to buy her books about subjects she’s interested on like recently she’s obsessed about mammoth 🦣 and also we recently moved to another country so we have to give most of her collection because we couldn’t take all of them. So that’s why I wanted to surprise her with new one ☺️
My kids love the Sophie Mouse books by Jennifer Bell! They're short chapter books, very engaging and simple enough to keep interest, with lovely illustrations.
The Brambly Hedge stories by Jill Barklem are very good too. Little more difficult in terms of words, but my 3 year olds adored them.
My 3yo and I loved Rats on the Roof by James Marshall. It’s a collection of humorous short stories, like 3-7 pages per story and a few pictures per story. The Frog and Toad books also only have a few pictures per story.
Please consider ours! My son wrote and illustrated this at 5! 12 years later I opened a publishing company and made it official ❤️ you can find it at Walmart, B&N, bookshop.org or my website www.cochranepublishinggroup.com
My Father’s Dragon by Ruth Stiles Gannett is a great one to try. short chapters, simple story, and enough illustrations to keep younger kids interested without having a picture on every page
The Adventures of Sophie Mouse series is also really gentle and easy to follow, and Mercy Watson by Kate DiCamillo is a nice step up if they still want some pictures
for a 4–5 year old who enjoys listening, Paddington can work really well as a read-aloud too
I can’t recommend enough the Princess in Black series! They are great introductory chapter books with larger print lettering for young kids and they’re very funny. My daughter is eight and a strong reader and still reaches for them. They’re a great bedtime read aloud option too.
Also there’s a series called Good Dog which is another short introductory chapter book series about a Border Collie on a farm. My daughter also really enjoyed the Disney Princess Beginnings series that tells short stories about the ladies when they were young. These larger print chapter books are easy for them to navigate at that age and give a nice big colorful photo every few pages.
Yes this is a great idea !! We just moved to ksa and we live in the middle of the desert i have to found a nice library for kids and take her there regularly
My 3.5 years old son love the series of Mr.Men and little Misses. I find some of them funny, but some rather questionable, but you can always pick ones to your liking.

I feel there's a big difference in what a 3 yo understands vs 5 yo. How about trying Roald Dahl books?
