Last week, there were a few posts about books for toddlers. One thing I remember people looking for was books with female main characters. I went through just one of my lists from a class I took called "Using Picture Books in the Elem. Classroom" (I loved this class!!) and came up with the following list. (I haven't read all of them, but know of most). There are so many more, but here's a start.
