Look Who's Buying Children's Books...

...It's our commander in chief! While in Iowa City to discuss small businesses and healthcare reform, President Obama popped into an independent bookstore called Prairie Light Books, where he purchased "Journey to the River Sea" by Eva Ibbotson and "The Secret of Zoom" by Lynne Jonell for his daughters, and a pop-up Star Wars book for White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs' son, according to the Los Angeles Times. I bet that clerk was pretty happy with her very famous customer!

And I bet the authors of those books were pretty happy, too!

I wonder if some of the customers standing in the store also bought the same titles that the President purchased.
