Fred Rogers was remarkable and made the world a better place. I was unaware how thoroughly he researched child development with Dr Margaret McFarland to ensure every episode down to the exact words used was beneficial and appropriate for children. Listening to the audiobook narrated by LeVar Burton was

Fred Rogers was a beautiful person and there will never be another human being like him, you cannot change my mind. The depth that King goes into Mr. Rogers' story makes you feel like you knew him personally, if you didn't already feel that way from watching his show. He had such an incredible outlook on life and I truly feel that anyone who works with kids or has children of their own should read this book. I just want to employ everything Mr. Rogers did into my own work. The detail and chronology of "The Good Neighbor" was fantastic and so thorough, I was seriously impressed.
Audiobook is read by Levar Burton which is cool but it's repetitive. The author explained at least 4 times that his mother made his sweaters. Still interesting though.

While overall I enjoyed this book, there were a few times I felt more like I was reading a text book and not a biography. Some of the extended looks at history (of the medium or of people in Mr. Rogers' life) felt clunky.
