Thomas and the doctor

Grace and I have read "Thomas goes to the doctor" many times (she loves doctor books for some reason). I was drying her hair and she was looking at the book and I hear her talking. I turned off the hair dryer and listened closely and realised that she was busy reading the book to herself, but not just vaguely talking about the pictures, she was saying every word exactly as it is written.

To the best of my knowledge she can't read, which means that she has memorised at least 80% of the book and can repeat it word for word with the visual prompting of the pictures. Ans it has been a while since we last looked at that book. I was definitely surprised and fascinated.
