I would have thought they might have chose a topic like maybe, "An AirHead who does not like using proper English." Or maybe, "The Trials of Teaching a President Sentence Structure." Oh well, maybe they'll tackle those two subjects next. Must be nice to have so little to do, and so much time to do it in! But such a great gift to give a Nation by a First Lady! So much better than spearheading a program like maybe on, Teen Suicides, Gun Laws, Poverty in America, Millions of Iraqis Homeless .... Oh How Precious Mom and Jenna writing a book.

You don't get children to read by giving them books about other children who don't like to read. you get them to read books by giving them good books to read. It would take some real talent to write a good children's novel, but this is to be a picture book. How could it possibly be more difficult to write fewer words? And while we're at it, most children who are "reading" picture books hardly know to dislike reading. It's just fun time spent with mom, dad or whomever. And yes, neither woman was a teacher for even a year. It is tiresome to hear about their service to public education. And I am also tired of hearing about how literary is Laura Bush. She claims to be an avid fan of Edith Wharton but on a C-Span interview, she was hardly able to name a book other than Ethan Frome, the same old high school requisite. That's not what I expect to hear from someone who claims to have read all of Edith Wharton's works. This is so typical of neophyte author wannabe's.

You know maybe pictures of how to LEAVE when a big bad storm is approaching. Also a follow up book on how to get a FREE FEMA trailer and then how to sue the government because something is wrong with the FREE trailer. Oh wait the NAACP already has the copy rights for that book. Maybe they can develop one for folks in New Orleans for the next Katrina.
