Fred Rogers<br />
GOING TO THE HOSPITAL<br />
“Color photographs of children having<br />
their first hospital experiences add a<br />
corroborative note to the simple, direct<br />
text that is addressed to children. The<br />
author’s style is just right for this level<br />
of informational book: reasssuring yet<br />
candid....” —The Bulletin of the<br />
Center for Children’s Books<br />

GOING TO THE POTTY<br />
“A very low-key, low-pressure book. It<br />
is not a toilet training manual, but rather<br />
a book to show a child how using the<br />
toilet fits into the whole idea of growing<br />
up and learning new skills.”<br />

MAKING FRIENDS<br />
“Although friendship has been explored<br />
in countless picture-book stories, this offering<br />
is one of the few nonfiction books<br />
for preschoolers on a subject of major<br />
concern to them.”<br />

WHEN A PET DIES<br />
“Assures youngsters that no matter how<br />
badly they feel when they lose a pet, in<br />
time their hurt will ease, and they will<br />
be able to remember with fondness the<br />
happiness they shared.”<br />

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT: ADOPTION<br />
Photographs by Jim Judkis<br />
“As one might expect from Mr. Rogers,<br />
this is a gentle, matter-of-fact, and reassuring<br />
approach to the topic of adoption.<br />
Rogers’ unaffected delivery has a way<br />
of making scary things unscary, which<br />
should help parents as much as kids, and<br />
his concrete suggestions for kids dealing<br />
with the issue will be a help to kids who<br />
may not have thought about those options.”<br />

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT: DIVORCE<br />
Photographs by Jim Judkis<br />
“The gentle yet straightforward text validates<br />
a host of common feelings children<br />
have about divorce and thoughtfully<br />
answers many questions kids ask: ‘Where<br />
will I live?’ ‘Is it okay to have fun sometimes?’<br />
‘Can I cry?’ The photos, nicely<br />
staged to capture children and middleclass<br />
parents in warm, bright surroundings,<br />
add a positive feel.” —Booklist<br />
“This book fills a gaping hole on library<br />
shelves.” —School Library Journal<br />

EXTRAORDINARY FRIENDS<br />
Photographs by Jim Judkis<br />
“In the Let’s Talk About It series,<br />
Rogers addresses how to befriend those<br />
who walk, talk, learn, or behave in ways<br />
considered different from the norm...<br />
Rogers makes clear...that what is essential<br />
is true friendship. Concrete suggestions<br />
about how to offer friendship and receive<br />
it from those who are disabled, even if<br />
those disablilties may not be physically<br />
apparent, make acceptable and enlightening<br />
the book’s conclusion: ‘You are<br />
special...and so is everyone else in the<br />
world.’” —Kirkus<br />

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT:<br />
STEPFAMILIES<br />
Photographs by Jim Judkis<br />
Fred Rogers opens the door for stepfamilies<br />
to safely talk about their good<br />
and sometimes not-so-good feelings by<br />
encouraging both parents and children<br />
to communicate. While he acknowledges<br />
that difficult situations will probably<br />
arise, he emphasizes that the joy of<br />
belonging is what all families are really<br />
about. “In a simple, straightforward<br />
manner, Rogers describes the variety of<br />
feelings that children might have. . . and<br />
he offers ways of dealing with some of<br />
the difficulties that arise.”<br />
