The Secret Knowledge of Grown-Ups by David Wisniewski
Fave thing about the book is the cover which has been made to look like a classified manila envelope.  OK this book is hands down ridiculous!  Why should kids drink milk?  To stop our atomic cows from exploding.  Apparently there are 6 giant radioactive cows in America that provide all the milk for the country.  If we stopped drinking milk there the cows would get bigger until there was a nuclear meltdown.
 
Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! by Candace Fleming
Mr. McGreely plants a veggie garden but a group of rabbits keeps stealing his crops!  He tries to put up all kinds of barriers but each time the rabbits outsmart him.  At last the veggies are in a veritable fortress but it's still not enough to keep the rabbits out.  Eventually he must learn to share.
 
Grand Old Tree by Mary Newell DePalma
Wonderful book with lovely, simple pictures about the life of a tree.
