I am looking for some challenging read-aloud books for my 2 1/2 year old. I've tried looking up preschool reading lists and it's all stuff like, "If you give a mouse a cookie" and "Corduroy". Don't get me wrong, I love those and we read those constantly but I'm looking for something more. We just finished reading all of the Pippi Longstocking stories for the 3rd time. I need something different but at about that level. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Puggle has loved the Milly-Molly-Mandy stories by Joyce Lancaster Brisley... we've been reading them for about 12 months (as we find more books:-) ) He was probably about 3 when we started them.

Winnie the Pooh
Beatrix Potter
Brambly Hedge
Raggedy Ann and Andy stories (by Gruelle)
Charlotte's Web

I think that those are about Pippi Longstocking level.

Just thought of the Thomas the Tank Engine books - those are favorites here. Also Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy.
