JFK and "Billy Whiskers"
Apparently Rose Kennedy liked to steer her children to fine literature though there's one series of books that her son John especially loved and it didn't exactly qualify as a classic at the time. It's Frances Trego Montgomery's series of books about a mischievous goat named Billy Whiskers. You'll find a copy in the gift shop at the John F. Kennedy house, a National Historic Site in Brookline.
