Someone mentioned The Poky Puppy, and I thought that is a good one because the puppies escape three or four times, come back, don't get dessert. I could stop at the second time they escape, then talk about the two escapes when we continue the book.
I just can't remember if that's appropriate for a three-year-old. She does have a Ph.D. math parent and is starting to evidence logic and draw conclusions, if that's any indication of (other) memory capabilities.
Or should we just read the whole thing and go bake cookies.

I am guessing that she is a very bright, interesting child. I will echo Winnie-the-Pooh and Wind in the Willows. When reading Winnine-the-Pooh to my 18-month-old grandson (now a high honor roll student), I wanted to stop before he wanted to stop listening. He understood the story as he told his mother about it a few days later. One-sitting books are also good reads. The more a child is read to the more successful they are academically.
