    I'm not sure if it has been mentioned but the 'Maisy' series is excellent and is based on real life experiences. Maisy goes to the dentist, to playschool, the city etc.

    Both my children absolutely loved the series at that age and still do.

    The language is simple enough that the child can read along and understand.

    Oh, another series that is lovely for that age is Pip and Posy.

    The Lonely Beast series by Chris Judge are perennial favourites here.

    Also anything by Chris Haughton. For anyone with children in Gaelscoileanna, his books have been translated into Irish.

    I think hearing rhyme is very important for young children. These are a real hit atm with my 4yo boy...

    ‘The Dinosaur that Pooped a Pirate’ (there’s a whole hilarious series!)
    and ‘It Wasn’t Me’ by Lucy Barnard about a poor dog who gets blamed for all the mischief in the house (great moral tale about telling the truth as an added bonus.)

    We recently read The Twits which was good craic and followed that up with the Giraffe, The Pelly & Me. We're onto James & The Giant Peach at the moment, though I think that maybe a little too old for her. She really seems to like the Roald Dahl books. They are written in a very natural way, there's a real flow to things.
    For contrast I bought her some Holly Webb books and we read one about a Unicorn. It was fine, she liked it but it was overly girly (I know it's aimed at little ladies), it just didn't seem as naturally written. Still, she liked it and we have another to read.

    I'll certainly look into the other suggestions that have been mentioned.
