    I’m looking for recommendations for chapter books to read to my 3.5 yo to expand her repertoire beyond just the Ramona Quimby books. I’m not trying to push the chapter book thing, it’s just that ever since we started listening to the Ramona audiobooks she has been all about those and has shown very little interest in picture books. She wants to listen to them all the time, and that’s all she wants for bedtime reading. I think what she likes about them is hearing about how other kids play, and hearing about other kids’ feelings—she talks about Ramona a lot when trying to describe her own feelings. I’m looking for genuinely good (i.e., well written) books of a similar reading level that have emotional processing themes, and also some motifs/imagery she might like (cats, unicorns, sloths, bugs, lions, boats, magic). I read so many books that I genuinely loved as a kid, but the only ones I can remember now are a too old for her (Little Women, Secret Garden, etc.). TIA!
