Story5 out of 5 stars 1
He was their neighbor, their friend. And for over 30 years, Fred Rogers visited so quietly with the children of America that nobody dreamed he was a Presbyterian minister. Using puppets instead of a pulpit, this icon of children's television shared with America's youngsters the basic principles of the Christian faith - forgiveness, kindness, compassion, respect - and made those values real for his audience.

Story0 out of 5 stars 0
Fred Rogers was one of the most radical pacifists of contemporary history. To critics who dared call him “namby-pamby”, Rogers said, “Only people who take the time to see our work can begin to understand the depth of it.” This is the invitation of Peaceful Neighbor, to see and understand Rogers’ convictions and their expression through his program. Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, it turns out, is far from sappy, sentimental, and shallow; it’s a sharp political response to a civil and political society poised to kill.

What the critics say
- Audie Award Winner, Inspirational/Spiritual, 2004
"Reminds readers that before we learned everything we needed to know in kindergarten, or had our first taste of chicken soup for the soul, Rogers taught valuable lessons about playing make-believe, keeping one's promises, finding strength through helping others, and not being afraid to cry." (Publishers Weekly)

Sound-bytes and Snippets
This book isn't quite what I was expecting. There are a handful of celebrity narrators taking turns sharing snippets and sound-bytes of Fred Rogers wisdom, mixed with a speech Fred presented at an awards event, and a touching foreword by Fred's wife about her life with Fred. All-in-all, not a bad book - just more of a background montage than a story.

Pleasant bio of Fred Rogers
Was expecting something more along the lines of Fred's previous book to parents, but this was more about his background, how he came to his show and lived his life. I enjoyed hearing his wife tell of their life together. She reads with the slow, thoughtful speech of Fred, plus a lovely southern accent. The celebrity readings were a nice reminder of his philosophy to help kids understand and navigate their world. If you remember Mr. Rogers fondly, this will be a warm listen.

Remember to love
The beauty and thoughtfulness of Mister Rodgers shines throughout. I realized a lot about myself and who I still want to be. This was a pleasant emotional reset button. Highly recommended for anyone feeling numb to the world right now.

Everyone should read this!
I love everything about this book. We need another Mr. Rogers in this world but I’m afraid we will never will. This man single-handedly made children and adults better versions of themself. This book reminded me of that.

Touching and thought provoking.
I never appreciated Mr. Rogers until I was in my early twenties and started working with children in the DV field. I used to carry around a copy of this book in my bag. The audio version is lovely. I hope more people pick a copy up.

Awesome snippets, not good as audiobook. Get book!
When purchasing this audiobook I did not realize that it was going to be just a lot of small chapters which is not good for listening in one long sitting. I will give it back and get the book instead.
