A book about mathematics, since it's an angle. Just kidding. Get a book that's easy for her to read, and make sure it's one she'll love.

There actually is a funny book about triangles to help teach early geometry. http://www.amazon.com/Greedy-Triangle-Brainy-Day-Books/dp/0590489917/sr=1-4/qid=1157910267/ref=sr_1_4/002-6162621-1779212?ie=UTF8&s=books
One of my favorite picture books is "Tuesday" by David Weisner. Awesome, look at the great pictures and tell the story that you or she make up.
"The Day the Goose Got Loose" is a fabulous book.
Jan Brett's books are gorgeous - The Mitten is a funny, interesting tale with illustrations you can talk about for as long as she'll sit there.
Aesop's Fables are wonderful - get a book with beatiful illustrations.
Puss In Boots is a great story, so is The Pokey Little Puppy.
Marcia Williams does fabulous cartoon books of greek myths, shakespeare plays, dickens tales, and more. As much as possible, read real books to your child, not just product advertisments. At three, your reading to her will 1)nurture her with time with you, 2)build her vocabulary, 3)expand her view of the world, 4) teach her the relationship between symbols and concepts (letters and sounds, words and their menaind) and how much you value reading, and 5)re-nforce your values.
DK pubishers sells wonderfully rewritten versions of classic tales, with fabulous illustrations, and non-fiction pages crammed with info appropriate to the story in between each chapter. In a separate line of books, DK has "A Country Mouse in a City House.' Again, illustrations beyond belief, plus games to play to pull you through the book.
Time-Life had a great series of books explaining the world to three - five year olds. Here's a link to one of the series' books, on ebay.http://cgi.ebay.com/Are-There-Diamonds-in-My-Backyard-1995_W0QQitemZ8074436907QQihZ019QQcategoryZ279QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Curious George Books are Great. Winnie the Pooh is great. Barbar is fabulous. I read our three year old "The Odyssey" by Homer. I read it to try to get him to fall asleep. I read it for 18 months, a little each night, explaining the meanings best I could as I went. Of course I read him lots of little kids' books during the day, but the effect of the Odyssey has been profound and impressive. (Talk in long sentences to your daughter, and she gets smarter. )
Use reading to teach so many things - talk about any picture on the page that interests her or you - show how to get more information about things that interest you. turn to books as often as possible for answers and for pleasure. When you talk about a large dog pictured in a book, say, call it a 'big dog' then mention that it is a 'gigantic hound' then a 'large dog' then a 'huge dog' etc etc - you are building her vocabulary in a painless fun way.
Also, get her to make books - have her tell you a story - you write it down best you remember, then present it to her with a sentence on each page - a sentence that is something she can illustrate. then, ask her to illustrate each page and 'bind' the book with ribbons or something.
Keep the great clasic Seuss in mind - Green Eggs and Ham, Hop on Pop, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Cat in the Hat, The Sneetches, Yertle the Turtle, Solla Saloo, Horton Hatches an Egg.
If you read your daughter about barbie, she comes out of it knowing about barbie. if you read her about bugs, she'll come out learning about the natural world. Fill her up with good things as well as fun things.
