I remember reading Straight Up or On the Rocks to little Jenna when she was just a baby. Her first words were "Harvey Wallbanger"...
Laura Bush, who worked as a librarian for four years and has droned on about it for twenty six, thinks that doctors should prescribe books for babies:
First lady Laura Bush, campaigning to boost literacy in America, urged doctors on Wednesday to prescribe books for babies during check-ups.
Mrs. Bush, a librarian and teacher, said when babies went for regular check-ups, doctors should write out prescriptions for books or, if possible, send them home with one.
"That really adds the whole authority of the medical community (on the importance of reading)," Mrs. Bush told ABC's "Good Morning America" show, which launched a campaign to get more books into school libraries.
"There are all sorts of studies that show if a child has been read to from six months old ... they start school at a huge advantage," said the first lady.
Those who had not been read to did not even know how to turn pages. "Your babies might want to chew on them, but that's all right," Mrs. Bush said

She said the one of President Bush's favorites was the Dr. Seuss' book "Hop on Pop."
"George loved to read to our girls and they would actually act it out. He would lie on the floor and read 'Hop on Pop' and they would jump up and down on him."
Along with Hop on Pop, other George Bush favorites include Dad on Crack, Have You Seen My Discharge Papers?, Horton Hires A Ho, and Daddy Drinks Because You Twins Make Too Much Noise.
