"This book provides a wonderfully real look into the life of Fred
Rogers. I like that the author includes facts that help readers to
see that Mr. Rogers was a real, down-to-earth person with flaws
just like everyone else. She also does a great job of highlighting
how important he was in improving access to learning for millions
of children. He wasn't just a beloved television personality; he
truly did seek to make his community and ultimately the world a
better place. There is a glossary of terms at the back of the book
which helps young readers to build their vocabulary as well.
Inspirational and heartwarming. Recommend." --Jean K.

this series, and Fred Rogers is a wonderful role model with a
positive message. Susan B. Katz does a fabulous job of writing the
content. This series does a good job of dividing content into
manageable bites and sections. The thought questions for this book
are especially interesting. A child with knowledge of Mr. Rogers
