Also - give her lots of opportunities when it's ok to rip paper, peel stickers off sticker sheets, and scribble with crayons, etc. Make sure there are no books in the vicinity when the ripping, scrunching, folding, sticking, scribbling activities are taking place.
DS is the same, and I find it incredibly frustrating as I have such a love for books!! We went through 2 copies of Where is the Green Sheep before his fist birthday as he too would pick at the corners of board books and eventually tear the paper of the boards.
At the moment his favourite book is 'what colours are you knickers' which is a lift the flap book so we are constanly telling him to be careful and not to be rough. The last thing I want to do is to put all his books up, as they are by far what he plays with the most and he loves to sit there and flick through his books.
I let DS have full access to most of his books, but a few specials ones are placed up high for when he is a bit older.
