We've got a gazillion picture books and probably read between 2 and 10 a day. She can recite Hairy Mclary and a few others (and so can I... some, I'd be glad to never read again!). She loves lying with me at night and I make up a story and she just listens, but TBH, my imagination is a bit cr@p, especially when tired and I'm fast running out of material. Both her receptive and expressive language are fantastic, so I feel that she's ready for some of the suggested titles. It won't mean we'll reduce the picture books... though I may have to hide a couple for my own sanity!

Sorry, reading back, that sounds defensive. Just explaining my position.

Thanks again for all the suggestions.
