Looking for good books for your kids? First lady Laura Bush, a longtime book lover and librarian, makes some suggestions in "Laura's List: The First Lady's List of 57 Great Books for Families and Children" (Jeremy P. Tarcher/Penguin, $14.95).
Her list is divided into four sections: family reading, books for young children, books for intermediate readers and special comfort books.
Each book description includes an excerpt, a reader's guide and a discussion of themes. Among the classics are "Charlotte's Web," "Curious George" and "Little Women." And no one should be surprised to find Texas-themed books, including "Hank the Cowdog" and "Sara's Flag for Texas."
