This is an alarming book. Its author, a young mother, conducts a television program on physical fitness. She is said to command great attention among that large majority of women who somewhat wistfully seek to “keep slender and fit after thirty” by a conscientious program of exercising. Having established this large following, Miss Prudden (who uses her maiden name professionally) is now going after their children with what the book’s jacket describes as “a step-by-step, day-by-day program to ensure a child’s physical fitness from birth to six years of age.”
