Thanks guys - you are totally on the right track. She loves Green Eggs and Ham and the original Winnie the Pooh too. I just thought there might be things published more recently - maybe we'll just have to stick to the classics!

Hi Sheza - I kinda dropped out of things for the last couple of months of my pregnancy but I'll check out the Aug thread and see how things are going for ya all. ]]> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:45:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29880&PID=837130&title=longer-stories-to-read-to-a-preschooler#837130 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29880&PID=836956&title=longer-stories-to-read-to-a-preschooler#836956 Author: Shezamumof3

I have some books of the original winnie the pooh that are pretty good, each story would take about 10 mins to read.]]> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:16:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29880&PID=836810&title=longer-stories-to-read-to-a-preschooler#836810 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29880&PID=836767&title=longer-stories-to-read-to-a-preschooler#836767 Author: mamanee

I really really love the Faraway Tree, The Enchanted Wood and The Wishing Chair by Enid Blyton, they were my favourite books growing up and I still re-read them every now and again.   They are a wee bit longer though so would probably take about 10 minutes for each chapter.

What about Dr Seuss books? Green Eggs And Ham is a cool one! ]]> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:44:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29880&PID=836767&title=longer-stories-to-read-to-a-preschooler#836767 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29880&PID=836717&title=longer-stories-to-read-to-a-preschooler#836717 Author: MrsMojo

Hi

My DD is 3 1/4 and it starting to enjoy longer stories with no/few pictures. We started by reading Beatrix Potter and have been reading Milly-Molly-Mandy and Enid Blyton's Naughty Amelia Jane and she really loves them even though they are so old fashioned. I would like to read something that is a similar format (each chapter a separate story about the same characters, no/few pictures, takes about 10mins to read) but that set in this century! Does anyone have any suggestions? Our local library is hopeless and anything I can remember from my childhood is not modern!]]> Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:09:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29880&PID=836604&title=longer-stories-to-read-to-a-preschooler#836604
