  • Excellent
Ordered several copies of the same book to give as gifts. They are in perfect condition, despite technically being used, and they arrived quite quickly, even with regular shipping. Thanks.

  • Comfort the first fathers day without my dad
The last day I saw my dad alive during the pandemic via iPad broke my heart deeply. Even though it was peaceful and a few hours later he stopped breathing, it was still super sad. I felt drawn to watch the Mister Rogers movie starring Tom Hanks. Not knowing what it was about other than the actor author learned it was about me in part. Reflecting aspects of the relationship my dad and I had similarly as the storyline. After the film, I borrowed online hopped on Amazon and purchased every Fred Rogers book I could find. On Father’s Day, I began my new tradition reading pages from this book and others. For me, this blessing is from God. The thought came to me these are all the things my dad would have taught me if he knew how. Father’s Day didn't feel as sad when I did this. I'm super glad to have a new ritual to help me connect with the memories of my dad. And, won't lie... I feel special. Just the way I am 😆 The note to readers at the beginning starts with ”What is essential is invisible to the eye.” An all-time favorite line from a favorite book, The Little Prince. Concludes with: ”So may it be with words in this book, which have been gathered from my speeches, songs, newspaper columns, books, and television programs. Once you’ve read them and made them your own, may they find their place in the innermost part of you - in that essential part of you that inspires you to be who you really are.” - Fred Rogers Mister Rogers had me at The Little Prince. Even though I'm grown have learned it's never too late to nurture oneself. Thank you Fred Rogers for your empathy, kind heart, and thoughtful mindful ideas shared generously. Preparing to launch a children’s series and pursue similar ideals find this and the other books helpful glimpses to a wider perspective of who I could reach through partnering with Fred’s spirit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💯🚀❤️❤️❤️😁 ... show more

  • Super, super tiny, and it has a mirror too!
I knew that it was small, but I didn't know it was this small. I don't think I've ever even seen a book this small before. The front has a cool mirror, too, which is a huge bonus. I like how it's organized. It's broken into themes of what Mr. Rogers stood for. It's mostly a book of quotes, but they're good quotes. One that was really interesting was how Mr. Rogers parents, at a very early age, let him use the piano to express whatever emotion he was feeling, and how he thought that was a really good way of dealing with emotions. After mine arrived and I loved it, I ordered about ten as gifts for my friends. ... show more

  • Mr. Rogers... our Modern Day Saint
The chapters are separated by topic, so when I want to talk to my child about something specific it makes it easy to pull out some amazing words of wisdom. I love love love this book. I highly recommend it. My son has Asperger's, and loves this book to help him understand the world around him.

  • Must-Read for Parents
This gem of a book contains small bits of wisdom, that together add up to a wonderful guide to loving parenting. It is a compassionate look children's interior lives--their fears, desires, anger, love, etc., and the most helpful ways a parent can respond to them. It helped me quite a bit in challenging moments of raising my children, and I have just ordered it for my daughter, a new mother. ... show more
