10 Favorite Books You (Maybe) Haven't Heard Of

I am always scouring the library catalogs and shelves for new-to-us books. My kids have insatiable appetites! I especially like to find little-known gems. Here are 5 New Kid favs and 5 Kiddo favs that you may not have heard of. Or maybe they are more popular than I know? You tell me! And what is your favorite little-known book?
  Dimity DuckBoo and Baa on a Cleaning SpreeFive Trucks
Dimity Duck One of New Kid's favorites that I don't mind reading 1000 times in a row.
Boo and Baa I can't contain my love for these cheeky Swedish sheep, the books will be hard to find but sooooo worth it.
Five Trucks Do you like trucks? We like trucks.
Cowboy Small (Lois Lenski Books)Princess Aasta
Cowboy Small. Super retro Lois Lenski book is not small on charm.
Princess Aasta Scandinavian princesses know playing with bears is way better than looking out for a prince.
The Curse of the Bologna Sandwich (Melvin Beederman Superhero)The Amazing World Of StuartE Is for Elisa (Riverside Kids)
Melvin Beederman Superhero It's so annoying when you can't turn off your x-ray vision. Who wants to see everyone's underwear?
Stuart's Cape "Adventures only happen to people with capes!"
E is for Elisa No super powers, but lots of super-important ordinary adventures.
Zapato Power: Freddie Ramos Takes Off (Book 1)The Reluctant Dragon
Zapato Power Are you sensing a super hero theme?
The Reluctant Dragon. Don't forget the classics.

I'm linking to What My Child Is Reading. Have a great holiday weekend.
