Fred McFeely Rogers was a staple in multiple children’s lives in two countries. In A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood: The Poetry of Mister Rogers we have 75 songs from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and The Children's Corner. Luke Flowers and his illustrations bring to life the characters from our childhood. Funny, sweet, silly and sincere poems/songs/stories about the everyday is probably what Rogers did best. These poems are about new siblings, being mad/angry, feeling shy, playing, even learning grown-ups where kids once, too. The afterwards gives some biographical information . ~ Reviewed by Jeanette
