15.5 - Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

Fred Rogers, born March 20, 1928, was a pioneer of educational television programming for children. Read a book where ALL the letters in the title can be found in MISTER ROGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD and/or CARDIGAN SWEATER. Subtitles should be ignored. Letters may only be used as often as they appear in the phrase. Numbers and symbols count as letters

Just to be clear - "all letters in the title" ..... you are NOT referring ONLY to the 1st letter of each title word ... correct?


Question two: Are we limited to the frequency of letters? So we could have 4 "R"s but only ONE T? -or- can the letters be used as frequently as need as long as they are in the phrase?

"ALL the letters in the title"

This was a tough one. I was 75% of the way through my To Read list before I found one that would fit.

Here's a list of what I found in case anyone needs suggestions. I have not checked to see if they all fit the SRC requirements. One and two word titles seem to work best.

Others
Omoo: A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas
So Big
Night
The Robe

I agree with Pamela. I went through my shelves for past challenges and did not find one that fit! However, in scanning my personal shelf at home, I found The Irish R.M.. I am still looking, but, if I do not find something that I prefer more, at least I have this book.

There are options. Nemesis, Seeing Red but it shouldn't be a struggle.

An update
Read a book where ALL the letters in the title can be found in MISTER ROGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD and/or CARDIGAN SWEATER.

Hope that helps.

Here are two more that fit

Homegoing (all in MIstEr rOGers NeIGHbOod)
Giant (all in cardIGAN sweaTer)

I haven't looked yet for Cardigan Sweater but I do know that this phrase has the C, A, and W that I often had to disqualify books for in the other phrase.

Adding Cardigan Sweater will make it a lot easier. Thanks for the update!

Oh, thank you! Homegoing is a great option.

We use the title as it appears on Goodreads. There is no U or L in the phrase(s)

After reading all the other questions here, I am still confused...sorry:(

Can we use both phrases to gather our letters from OR only one of them?

The ampersand would need to be in the phases.
