Review Doody's 5-STAR Review "This book has been used by countless nurses and has provided advice for thousands of parents about their children's health conditions, particularly when pediatric offices are closed. To my knowledge, it is a one-of-a-kind book. This update is absolutely needed as evidence regarding healthcare of children is constantly improving and changing. Judy A.
