Lucky, Rudy and Red are three boys who have started The Good Guys Agency. Their services come in handy when they come across Charlie and Teddy, two brothers, who are arguing over building a fort. Together, they enter a world of imagination where they meet Fred Rogers. They first meet Fred when he is a young boy getting bullied. Then they see how Fred decided to be kind and promote kindness on his tv show. They observe Fred being kind while sticking up for public television in a congress meeting and sharing a pool with Officer Clemmons. Charlie and Teddy return to reality ready to be nice to each other and build their fort together.
This book is so engaging with full color illustrations and some comic-like pages. This is a great beginning chapter book for those who also love reading graphic novels. This is a fun take on a biography while learning about kindness along the way. Stay tuned for three more books in this series set to be published in the coming months.
