WORDS OF WONDERFUL WISDOM!

I wish that I heard these words a long time ago. Such wonderful words of wisdom such an intelligent man. I could not stop listening it was really good.

It's a really easy read and enjoyable especially..

If you love Mr. Rogers, then you will love his words of wisdom. Everything made sense and did follow the events in the recent movie.

It’s a beautiful day in THIS neighborhood!

In the Times through which we are living, this is an amazing experience! Before the concepts of trauma-informed care, adverse childhood experiences and child-centered anything, this man was pioneering a concept of childhood “edutainment” that was so pure, so sparkling, so true. The Esquire article is a winner. The interspersed Rogers reading Rogers and Rogers read by a sensitive professional reading was a treat. As a pediatrician and mom, I am enthusiastic and appreciative. As a former child, I am tearful, grateful, and prayerful.

comforting

comforting. I sobbed during the movie and Tom Hanks nailed the role. I love Tom Hanks and I love Fred Rogers. I have cried so much today with the movie and the book and I bought every book he ever wrote, his other movie and a biography. thank God for this man. good book, comforting voice. ok gotta go cry again. it's a narrator but there is also a fair amount of actual Fred Rogers talking. it was a little confusing at first but the narrator is speaking as if he is Fred Rogers- for the first hour of the book I thought he was just some person with their own perspective.

Decent, but didn't care for the format.

Definitely had some good info, but had to listen in two sittings. Hard to keep focus on it.
