...but your family enjoys them! These are books that aren't classics, haven't received awards, didn't make it to paperback, had one printing, are out of print, and/or fell through the cracks of popularity. Looking for gems!
What made me think of this topic is that my 4yo's current favorite book is
My Mom and Dad Make Me Laugh.
We've enjoyed it for years and yet I don't think I've ever seen it on any "must read" list. It is funny, includes a nod to Seurat's "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte," and has hidden "clues" prior to the punch-line. Sweet and clever!
(Thank you, Jenn Sal, for giving this gift that keeps on giving!)
Love,

A Regular Flood of Mishap
Bring out your country drawl and have fun reading this aloud. Funny with a sweet ending.
Love,

My ds3 has me reading at least 3 PB Bear books a day. He is a huge fan. Yet I don't think DK publish them anymore.
My favourite line is in PB Bear Sandcastle Surprise when they go "splishing and sploshing in the sea"

My pleasure!  I need to get that for my own kids!  I think Kade would Love it. It's like a flip side of Fancy Nancy, don't you think?
