Editorial Reviews
Review
Fantastic little book – well laid out and concise with all the information that you would ever need to look after kids in the community… This will save many a paediatric doctor the need to carry bits of paper, and laminated sheets with scattered information. ― Amazon Customer Review, Nov 2012
Easy to find information, easy to read, and easy to share with patients; a no-brainer addition to my reference shelf. ―
