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.

We did that with our kids, sometimes. Why not try it and see?
She might enjoy books of various lengths, some stories, some picture books, some silly interactive books (lift the flap, pull the tab, turn the wheels) She may even have different preferences on different days like if she’s tired versus if she’s anxious.
Your local library might save you a lot of money and help her to see how many others share your love of reading.
