Growing Up Happy

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.
