Need book recommendations for 1st grade level reader

It depends on her reading level really...does her mom know what letter reads?
Amelia Bedelia, the "If You Give a"(Laura Numeroff) series, or maybe Dr. Seuss

These are some popular book titles that I can think of. I have a 1st and 3rd grade boys so tried to think what could be girlie or unisex.

Junie B jones Series
Amelia Bedelia Series
Magic Tree House Series
Magic School Bus Series
Or maybe step 3 readers (they sell books labeled step 1, 2, 3 - not sure what level there she is but I'd think maybe a 3). My 1st grader loves non-fiction best - esp books about animals. These type

I'd ask the parents before you buy if any of these type books appeal. 1st grade is such a broad spectrum of reading levels. My 1st grader reads above a 1st grader level but will read all types of books.

Totally not directing this at you, but I would hear this from parents all the time (I'm a teacher) and it was such a pet peeve! There is more to reading than just reciting the words-comprehension has so much to do with a child's reading level. Does she know her letter (or color) reading level?
