New York, NY -- Kiddie show host Fred Rogers died a year ago but he'll still be in the neighborhood bookstore for a few more years.

In May of 2005, Hyperion Books will publish a book for graduates that will combine commencement speeches made by Mr. Rogers throughout his 40-year career.

Then, in autumn, 2006, the company will publish a parenting guide containing inspirational pieces.

The new Mr. Rogers books come hot on the heels of "The World According To Mr. Rogers," a collection of his writings which has sold 580,000 copies since October.
