This book is a nice tribute to that gentle man who was everyone's neighbor and showed us the good in life: Mr Rogers. The book features "quotes and anecdotes taken directly from television visits with Mister Rogers, his neighbors, and the familiar faces of the residents of the Neighborhood of Make-Believe" (7). In addition, the book is illustrated in full color by Max Dalton. The simple yet colorful art will definitely take you back to your childhood.
Overall, Wagner has done a great job selecting material for the book. The book is arranged in ten sections featuring topics such as:
- You are special.
- Be a helper.
- Don't Forget the Fun.
You can read the book cover to cover, or you can browse when you just need a little inspiration or want to share a positive message with your child.
In the end, this is one to keep, share it with your children.
5 out of 5 stars.
