I agree. When I read to my pre-literate children, I'd say the title and they would have to repeat it after me. Then I'd say the author's name, again they'd have to repeat it back. Then I'd read the rest of the book. They wondered why they had to do that, and sometimes they even resisted. Then I'd play a game of not being able to go on until they said it. Anyway, as they grew they knew the authors of all their favorite books. To this day (in their 30's) they know the names.
