Mr. Rogers Dentist

Fred Rogers. Putnam Publishing Group, $12.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-399-21636-7

It's impossible to read these two books without ``hearing'' the gentle voice of the host of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood . The latest in his First Experiences series, both of these books maintain the high standards set by the previous eight volumes. In simple, uncondescending language, Rogers explains exactly what children can expect from each kind of encounter, discussing the people and the equipment involved. The full-color photographs in these books are sharply detailed, and add to the sense of calm authority present in each entry of this series, as comforting to children as Mister Rogers's signature blue cardigan. Ages 3-7. (May)
