[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 39723, member: 1991"] Beatrix Potter books? Stories like Squirrel Nutkin, Jemima Puddleduck, Tom Kitten, Mrs Tiggywinkle, Jeremy Fisher, A tale of Two Bad Mice, Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, The Tailor of Gloucester and many others. They were made small for little hands and are a delightful read. There is also an animated TV series with Niamh Cusack as Beatrix Potter, in the introductory bits. Lovely stuff. But very 1910 England. I'm afraid a lot of my suggestions will be very Australian/English because that still is a strong cultural influence for us. An Aussie book for you to try to get (maybe from the library) is "Possum Magic" by Mem Fox. It may be slightly young for her, I don't know, it's a lovely picture book about Hush the possum who has a granny possum who is magic. She can make Hush invisible to keep her safe from predators, but one day she forgets the ingredients for the spell to make Hush visible again. So they set off around Australia to find the magic ingredients - and it's a walk through Australian cities and food with Hush gradually becoming more visible. A lovely story about identity, family love and never giving up. It's quite short, but the sort you can read over and over. I know it's been published in the US. I'll keep thinking. Marg [/QUOTE]
