Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

To the generation that knew him first as TV's Captain Kangaroo, Keeshan speaks with the authority of a public performer who has successfully entertained youngsters for more than a third of a century. As he chronicles events in his personal and professional lives, the author, now a grandfather, discusses elements that comprise a well-adjusted childhood and offers time-tested suggestions for parents that are relevant to today's family lifestyles. Keeshan, who has served his community as a school board member and whose television character is an icon in children's programming, is conversant with the professional literature of early childhood and is also an experienced practitioner. With quiet humor and easy confidence, he reassures his former child viewers that they can carry on the heritage of Captain Kangaroo and his worthy entourage with their own children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book by a great man!, January 12, 2009
I was fortunate enough to get to hear Bob Keeshan, known to me as Captain Kangaroo, when he came through my town on a book tour promoting this book. In a hall filled to overflowing, he entertained us with stories of his life, his family, his show, and his career after the sad cancellation of Captain Kangaroo. Reading this book is like a walk down Memory Lane. The book reflects his warm and humorous personality and I treasure my copy. As a longtime fan of the show, I wish he was still around so my children could be entertained with his gentle humor and inherent understanding of children rather than the loud, obnoxious, overly lond commercials that pass as children's programming today.
