The Best Children's Show Ever Made. Educational and Positive July 30, 2005

This DVD is very good because it includes an excellent episode on music. The other Mister Rogers DVD available at Amazon.com is also great because is focuses on friendship and love.
Mister Rogers' Neighborhood is probably the best show ever made for children, because he understands the educational and emotional needs of young children. It may not be obvious, but quite a bit of thought was put into the design, format and content of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
Mister Rogers teaches young children to value themselves and respect others. He speaks to them directly on his show and encourages them to use their creativity. He brings them on field trips to interesting places, like a farm, bakery, barber shop, and balloon factory.
He is a good person - an educator - to invite into your home and share time with your child. If your young child does not watch Mister Rogers, she should. His goal is not catchy entertainment, but to help very young children with their early development. His message is simple.
"You're special.
"I like you just the way you are.
"There's only one person in the whole world just like you."
His television show is not as popular as it used to be (once hugely popular) and not as popular as other commercial, shallow television programs. It is not targeted at adults. Instead Mister Rogers is educational entertainment for young children ages two, three, four, and five; the little ones learning to count one-two-three-four-five, tie their shoes, and just beginning to understand themselves and their worlds. That's why Mister Rogers's Neighborhood is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics - your child's doctor.
Fred Rogers is a genius of early childhood education. He wrote over 150 songs, produced and wrote almost all of his shows, and staged most of his puppets himself. He collected four Emmy Awards, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Academy of Television and Arts Sciences, numerous honorary degrees, and other awards. One of his red cardigan sweaters is enshrined in the Smithsonian Institute. Despite his success, he refused opportunities to get rich off his fame and remained a humble man committed to his cause of quality entertainment for young children.
He became widely recognized as a trusted authority on early childhood education, testifying before Congress and interviewed frequently. In an Associated Press Interview he said, "We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say `It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my problem.' Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes."
Fred Rogers is one of the unsung heroes of our society, helping children to learn about themselves, learn about the world, like themselves, and respect other people. He was very special.
Mister Rogers is excellent entertainment for your child. This DVD is highly recommended.

I bought this DVD for my best friend's daughter along with the other Mister Rogers DVD ("Adventures In Friendship") and she LOVES them. She has made me watch it with her at least 10 times. I can only imagine how many times she has watched it when I haven't been there!? She loves to sing-along to the DVD even though she can't really understand the words yet. Aren't kids just too funny sometimes!? If you are looking for a DVD for a toddler. THIS IS IT. --- EDUCATIONAL --- ENTERTAINING --- PERFECT!!!

Wouldn't that be lovely!? Well at least now we can bring a little of it back home with us into our neighborhood. My niece turns four this month and I look forward to giving her this and the Mister Rogers- 'Adventures in Friendship' DVD. I know she is going to love it as much as I remember loving this show. Her mother and I would watch it everyday. I have such great memories associated with this show. What a pleasure it will be to create some new ones with my new niece!
Filled to the brim with positive reinforcement and educational material taught at a slow pace so children can absorb it, Mister Rogers, remains after 30 years on PBS one of the best possible educational shows on television. Mister Rogers makes every child feel special and loved while helping them learn the moral lessons that are missing in so much current children's programming.
I would give this DVD more stars if they would let me... like 75 or so. :)
