Unlike many children's television shows, Mister Rogers'
Neighborhood did more than simply entertain or occupy children's
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's television programming has
improved greatly since the late 1960s, no other children's 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's television program. This book illuminates and examines
the world of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood through world design,
narrative, genre, form, content, authorship, reception and more.
