Book Review: The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers / Maxwell King

I know that you are laughing at me. Who would actually read a book about Fred Rogers - that old time television personality that catered to children in his Keds Sneakers and cardigans? Me - especially after Mrs. Loftus suggested that I read the book.

Fred Rogers was an insightful man who worked very hard to provide educational television for children that would be developmentally appropriate, caring and honest. But there is more to the man. He was a Presbyterian minister, a musician, and he had a great sense of humor. He was a father, he was generally gentle, but even he could lose his temper. This is a must read for those who are interested in religion or education.
