Mr. Rogers' commitment to family is obvious. He has extended his television work to a series of books he calls First Experience. Text is simple and caring and the full-color photographs give good representations to differing moods and racial groups. Some of the topics covered are moving, going to the hospital, toilet training, and new babies. Each book begins with a special pep talk to parents that is helpful for comfort as well as suggestions for presentations.
Subjects are children with serious illness, children on divorce, children on adoption.
