Add a CommentIf you're a fan of Mister Roger's Neighborhood, you'll love seeing the memorable songs from the show laid out as poetry. Bonus: Illustrator Luke Flowers is a local from Colorado Springs
A simple collection of Mr. Rogers’ poetry, the songs and verses he shared on his show. This was probably the first show I watched that inspired humility, self-awareness and putting kindness into practice. The illustrations by Luke Flowers are so friendly and cute! I’d love to own a copy of this.
Positive, uplifting, and motivating for adults who work with children. Short poems and a quick read.
Reading 'A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood: The Poetry of Mister Rogers' made my heart cheer and my soul wish we were back in those kind, innocent days. My sons grew up with Mr Rogers. We lived in Pittsburgh for a bit and had the wonderful pleasure of meeting him when were coming through the airport as he was. What a sweet wonderful man.
I still have audio tapes of music from the show we had for my children. I had to listen to them as I read this wonderful, wonderful book.
Oh, how I wish his shows were still on the air for my grandchildren.
Yes, Mr Rogers, I would be honored to be, to have been, your neighbor.
