Well, we got a whole bunch of picture books and a couple of chapter books chose by dd and have been working our way through them. She's really enjoying it despite the books we have chosen not all having 'safe' themes (in the context of dd's very narrowly defined version of safe - I never push anything that is 'scary'). I think the benefit of picture books is that she can flip to the end and without reading the end of the book can see that everyone is alive and well in the end!

She's taken this moment to give up on her own reading and take a maths book to bed. A regular cycle in our house. Funny little thing.
