Absolutely fantastic collection of poems/songs I remember from my childhood. Mister Rogers was a staple in my household growing up. We didn't have cable and my Mom thought Mister Rogers had a great message. I agree, and I'm so happy these words and ideas have been made available for the next generation. I can't wait to see the illustrations and colors in the final product.

WOW, this book was made me so happy! The artwork was perfect for the book and so very cheerful to look at, matching the poetry of each "song" that Fred Rogers used in his many years' TV programs. You will not have to have watched the show to enjoy this book, but it will draw many former viewers and their families and friends. I can easily see a parent (or teacher) reading these poems to their children, a couple of pages a day, and even taking the time to discuss the messages of principles of higher character and how our choices can make us happy or sad. It's just wonderful. Now go be happy!

I was SO glad to receive this as an ARC from NetGalley! #BeautifulDayintheNeighborhood #NetGalley

This book was an emotional trip down memory lane for me. Mister Rogers was a huge part of my childhood. Reading these poems of the page stirred in me how important Rogers words were to a generation of children. All the feelings I held growing up proved valid and important in the world Rogers created and as an adult I can see how these songs stand the test of time and can spark healthy discussions with the current generation of kids growing up right now. 

My one complaint about this book would be the art. It is very amateurish to me. Maybe it's deliberately done but I would have much preferred pictures of the real Mister Rogers and his set.

What a beautiful book! It is full of Mr. Rogers’ inspirational songs and adorable and colorful illustrations by Luke Flowers. This collection of 75 songs composed by Mr. Rogers, encourage children to be kinder and more loving, to love themselves the way they are, to be silly and playful, to make use of their imagination.

I give this book, five stars:
- Timeless, universal topics
- Funny and silly songs
- Children can relate to familiar themes. Therefore, some of the lyrics can be used to talk about specific issues
- Some songs encourage self-esteem which is needed to nurture and raise healthy children
- The illustrations are charming. Flowers portrayed characters of the show, animals, objects, and children in sweet or silly situations.
- Fans of Mr. Rogers will find in this book a beautiful keepsake


My only suggestion to educators and parents would be to learn the rhythm of any of these songs if you can find them on YouTube so that children can memorize them.

Thanks, Quirk Books for allowing me to read and review this beautiful book.

This is a really great book for adults to read with children, whether it be parents reading with their children or teachers reading with the students. These classic songs carry great messages for children and the beautiful illustrations incorporate the magic from the show.  I highly recommend this for teachers, librarians, and parents to add to their bookshelves!

I truly enjoyed reading the songs and poetry of one of the best humans from my childhood. It was the proverbial "walk down memory lane". 
About this specific edition/format: I am anxious to see the finished book because the digital version did not flow very well... words and images were cut off and looked like a Picasso painting.

Love Mr Rogers. This is a great poetry book for fans of the show and those who are new. Great positive messages.

This is a beautiful book of poetry by Fred Rogers.  I grew up watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and this book brought back so many memories.  Whether you grew up watching Mr. Rogers or you are introducing your children and grandchildren to him, this book is sure to bring a smile to the reader's face.  It is filled with beautiful drawings and will be a treasure in your child's library. Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this wonderful book.

What a wonderful collection of songs and poems from my childhood! These songs are sure to appeal to many generations as caring ways to treat others and how to deal with emotions.
A recommend for any parent and for nostalgia.

I really wanted to love this book more than I did. I loved the pictures, I loved the poetry but it was bit long. In the book's defense though, this wasn't written with me in mind and who doesn't love to visit the world of Mr. Rogers. He will always have a special place in everyone's heart and there were times when I read some of the poems and I found them so uplifting. I can't wait for others to read it and experience the same feeling. It will leave them with the same hopefulness we felt every time Mr. Rogers welcomed us to his neighborhood.

This was a very sweet book! I loved having all of his songs in one place, as it holds such great memories from my childhood. This would be a perfect gift for anyone who loves Mr. Rogers.

Mr. Rogers has delighted children for decades. Some of the most teachable moments and memorable connections have happened through the songs that Fred Rogers composed. It is wonderful to have these song lyrics available to read and study.

I received an electronic ARC from Quirk Books through NetGalley. Thank you!
The songs from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood all together in one beautifully illustrated book. 
Roger's simple words passed on powerful messages to children and adults alike.  It's a trip down memory lane to read (and sing along) to so many of these songs.

I have been a huge fan of Mister Rogers for my entire life and I am delighted that this collection pays proper homage to his legacy.

Beautiful, softly rendered art of Fred Rodgers and his neighborhood! The text is the lyrics from the show's songs. If you know the tunes, it would be a quieter read aloud for some selected poems. A full read through might be tedious for younger lap-sit readers. Expect older readers and adults looking for this book so they can reminisce--- especially with the recent documentary and upcoming biopic about Fred Rodgers.

My children enjoyed the colorful illustrations in this book, and I enjoyed the feeling of nostalgia it gave me, as a child who grew up watching Mr. Rogers on TV.  Would make a sweet addition to any child’s bookshelf.

The nostalgia alone makes this a wonderful read.  Beyond that, I love finding child friendly poems to use in my classroom.  While we sometimes remember Mr. Rogers as quaint, this book reminds me that his show was also about inclusion, acceptance, and growing up.  After my first read through, I am drawn to poems like Things Are Different and Fences, but I have a feeling that my favorites will change often after rereading.  I will definitely add a hard copy of this one to my classroom library.

What a wonderful collection of Mr. Roger's songs and poems!   The messages from each are applicable to all children and adults.  The are beautiful illustrations that go along with the "passages and make this a very kid friendly book.  Perfect for a morning read, or bedtime story.

I grew up watching Mr. Rogers's Neighborhood, so I enjoyed reading these familiar songs. I plan to recommend it to my sister, who teaches preschool.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is a beautiful book! The lyrics to songs by Mr. Rogers are accompanied by lovely and colorful illustrations.
