Won't You Be My Neighbor?  A Mister Rogers Family Storytime

Won't You Be My Neighbor? A Mister Rogers Family Storytime

Join us for a very special Family Storytime during Mister Rogers Week!  In addition to singing, reading, and building our literacy skills, we will be sharing books, songs, and activities that celebrate kindness in honor of Mister Rogers! 

Fred Rogers was an American television host, author, and producer of Mister Rogers Neighborhood on PBS, from 1968 to 2001.  Each episode was a visit with young viewers exploring early childhood themes through his interaction with friends and neighbors and through puppet stories set in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe.  Mister Rogers Neighborhood was the inspiration for the beloved PBS show and book series, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. 

Who’s it for? Children, birth to age five, and their favorite grownups 

What will you do? Play, read, sing, and dance with your children in a fun, active program that builds reading skills. 

What is your child learning? Children who love books and stories become better readers. 

Unless posted, this program is held every week at this time. 

Support for early literacy programs is provided by a grant from First Things First, which partners with families and communities to give all Arizona children the opportunity to arrive at kindergarten healthy and ready to succeed. Learn more at FirstThingsFirst.org.
