The book that jumps to mind for me is "Miss Brooks Loves Books (and I Don't)" which stars a little girl in a knit cap and overalls who needs the lure of a warty ogre costume to get her into reading. I believe her mom is also depicted in the illustrations with a tool belt, or maybe she's an artist? I just remember the two of them being wonderfully messy. There's so much to love in that book, and I especially appreciate that it depicts a non-girly girl but isn't about that. It's just about an enthusiastic librarian and a reluctant reader.
