Keep Your Eye On the Kid: The Early Years of Buster Keaton by Catherine Brighton
From Vaudeville to film, this book follows Buster's rise to fame.  Did you know it was Harry Houdini who named him Buster?  His real name was Joe Keaton.  As a child he was expelled from school when his teacher asked for a sentence using the word "delight."  Buster said, "It's dark, turn on delight."
 
Alistair and Kip's Great Adventure! by John Segal
Alistair is a cat and Kip is a dog.  One day they build a boat and float out to sea where they see all kinds of oceanlife and are rescued by a whale.  This book is very cute.
