McFig & McFly: A Tale of Jealousy, Revenge, and Death (With a Happy Ending) by Henrik Drescher
The illustrations in this book are great!  They almost remind me of Quentin Blake's.  McFig and McFly are two neighbors who have identical houses, but they soon begin competing with each other by making additions to their homes.  In the meantime, their kids are falling in love with each other.  Weirdness:  McFly appears to be a cyclops.
 
Ella Sets Sail by Carmela & Steven D'Amico
Another lovely Ella the Elephant book.  This time Ella's friend loses her hat and Ella sets sail to find it.  She's taken in by a very kind family with lots of little elephant kids.  This is a really sweet book :o)
 
Seamore, the Very Forgetful Porpoise by Darcie Edgemon
Seamore can't remember anything and one day he swims off and finds another forgetful friend in Kevin the Killer Whale.  The other porpoises are nervous when Kevin comes to play with them but they soon discover he's not going to eat them. 
 
It's Not Fair! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal & Tom Lichtenheld
Fun rhyming book about a bunch of kids complaining that life isn't fair.  There's fake legalese in the inside covers.
