This delightful mid-century guide to child development, written by renowned pediatrician William Cole, offers a fascinating glimpse into the prevailing attitudes and wisdom of the era. Published in 1956, “What’s Good for a 4-Year Old” provides a window into the post-war zeitgeist, reflecting the optimism and shifting societal norms of the Baby Boom generation. Cole’s warm yet authoritative tone strikes a balance between expert advice and reassuring encouragement for parents navigating the complexities of raising young children. While some of the recommendations may now seem dated, the book remains a charming artifact of its time, capturing the enduring joys and challenges of early childhood. Collectors of vintage childcare literature and mid-century Americana will appreciate this well-preserved copy as a piece of cultural history.
