The Good Neighbor: The Life and Work of Fred Rogers
by Maxwell King
I love Mr. Rogers and the legacy he left, but I can’t love this book. The writing though thorough and well documented, is extremely redundant. It comes off almost in a theme of disconnected essays, but by being written by the same person it feels like a passionate author who didn’t reread the whole book start to finish. I would have liked this book had it been 150 pages shorter with all of the repetition removed. At the core, this is a very detailed book about a rich white man who did a lot for early childhood education and television with some light digs at Sesame Street. I’m pretty disappointed in this book as a whole and wouldn’t recommend it.
