The Boy Who Looked Like Lincoln by Mike Reiss
Imagine a little kid who looks just like Abe Lincoln, complete with beard and top hat. Needless to say Benjy gets teased plenty at his school. He goes off to a special camp with kids who look like things or other people. My favorite camper is the one who looks like a horse's butt. This is a great book about accepting what you look like. As would be expected, the pictures are hysterical.

My Hometown Library by William Jaspersohn
This is a great book about the author's local library. The pictures are colorful and vibrant. This book was written in the 90's so naturally some of the information is dated especially regarding the role of computers and newer technologies, other than that, it's one of the best children's books I've found that talks about what a library is and how it functions.
