Feel free to post your thoughts about the book in this topic.

I just downloaded the audio book from Hoopla and Levar Burton does the narration! I can't imagine anything more perfect!

I have it in hardcover from the library but I think I might download an audio version too. Some Reading Rainbow action sounds good! :p

I started reading it too and was very slow going. I got the audio and Levar makes in incredibly more appealing.

As much as I adore Fred Rogers and the narrator... good god this is slow...

You guys are making me really want to start the book. ;)

There are a lot of digressions that drag down the pace. I have no idea why it matters that Mister Rogers took a golf lesson from Arnold Palmer's father and sucked at it.

I listened on double speed. It’s definitely not the most exciting thing but I’m still glad we read it

I've started to read /listen to it! Nothing like waiting until the last minute. "Who's behind the man in the sweater?"

I am plowing through this (on 1.25 speed) as I rattle around the house doing laundry etc. I haven't read much from the actual hardcover copy I have from the library. :) I am pretty sure I will finish before the meeting.
