While I knew a good slew about Mr. Rogers going in, having watched a few documentaries, I was glad to read about more of the special  interactions he had over the years, seeing his commitment to educating children and helping everyone to be a better neighbor. The "lessons" of Fred Rogers that the author wanted to impart seemed a bit of a stretch, at least in having them tie into a Rogers-related anecdote in some way. The book attempts to be a half biography, half self help book, but I never really felt guided in any way. It's just sort of "the best of Fred Rogers" and honestly, you can't even be too disappointed with that.
