Won't You Be My Neighbor?

October 15, 2020
Preschool This cheerful board book pairs each line of lyrics from the opening number of the Mister Rogers' Neighborhood TV show with a sunny digital illustration that depicts Mister Rogers leaving his television house, making the rounds in his community, and stopping to connect with friends along the way. Kids familiar with the show will recognize familiar lyrics, settings, and characters such as Mr. McFeely, Officer Clemmons, and Lady Aberlin. This sturdy volume offers an opportunity for parents who grew up hearing the song to share it with their children. Adults inclined to read the text aloud may find that singing it more readily engages young children in the experience.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
