Unlike many children\u2019s television shows, Mister Rogers\u2019 Neighborhood did more than simply entertain or occupy children\u2019s attention. The show educated them in the affective domain, encouraging such things as appreciation for difference, collaboration, self-expression, and self-worth. It also introduced them to the areas of culture, art, and music through guests, trips, art objects and processes, and demonstrations, making it accessible and meaningful in a way that a child could understand. While the educational content of children\u2019s television programming has improved greatly since the late 1960s, no other children\u2019s program has ever attempted such a mix of high art, low art, folk art, industrial production, learning in the affective and social domains, and more, all with a whimsical sense of humor, insight, and a level of interconnected detail unmatched by any other children\u2019s television program. This book illuminates and examines the world of Mister Rog.
