Every sidekick does not have a story

This year's summer reading theme at our library, and at many other libraries across the country, is "Every hero has a story." A friend and I got all excited about putting on a storytime about sidekicks to fit this theme, but unfortunately, while every hero has a story, sidekicks don't seem to be as well-represented. Can anyone suggest good picture books about sidekicks or hero/sidekick relationships?

    Someone's been down this road before: http://blaine.org/sevenimpossiblethings/?p=1031. Note this link takes you to part 3 of 3.

    IMO, Piglet, while not from picture books, is the best sidekick in children's lit.

      I am gratified to see that "Superheroes" by Maxwell Eaton is Jules's first choice--it's one I was already planning to use. I might have to ILL the one about the two bickering feet, for my own amusement if nothing else.

      Piglet is indeed the best sidekick! I recognize this as truth.
