my 3 yr old has to rip all her books i take them away and then wait a few days give her one back she rips it again. its so frustrating! i want her to have books and be able to be like normal kids but is this normal???? i thought they did this has babies??? i keep telling her only babies rip thier books but its not working!

My DD is two and she rips her books.  Its not all the time, just when she gets in the mood to do so.  I'd take them away if it was all the time.  They make a lot of board books now that are longer and more advanced or you could do pop up books, books that are a touch more resilient.

If she wants a book then tell her that you or someone else holds it for her and she can look at it, try to explain that it's a privelege to hold the books if you can treat them nicely.
