My (then) 4 year old read/had read to him both Olivia and Fancy Nancy books...but that is before they get the message about sexism from fellow classmates. He is six now and I am sure he would have no problem listening to books such as these if read aloud to a group but I think at this point he wouldn't go and pick them out on his own. Well maybe Olivia because she is a hoot. (Not to mention that he is reading higher books).
My boys can almost recite my rant. There is no such thing as girl toys and boy toys...there are just toys. There is no such thing as girl books and boy books...just books. You look at each toy or book and evaluate if that would be something that would interest you.
