About The Disney Encyclopedia Of Baby And Child Care
Product Description Written by leading pediatricians, a warm and accessible guide, in two volumes, to every aspect of a child's emotional, physical, and intellectual development up to age six includes an exhaustive encyclopedia of illnesses and cures. Original. 100,000 first printing. Amazon.com Review Written by four respected pediatricians, The Disney Encyclopedia of Baby and Child Care is a comprehensive and highly accessible reference guide for parents of young children. This two-volume set provides quick hits of information for every conceivable parenting quandary. Volume 1 concentrates on early childhood development, from birth through age 6, and includes sections on speech development, social interaction, behavioral problems, and mobility. Easy-to-read charts and simple diagrams make this a great book for the time-strapped. Volume 2 is an A-Z of childhood diseases and behavioral concerns--running the gamut from measles to worms. Although parents won't find in-depth medical information here, this hefty book is still handy for quick reference. Two hundred color illustrations, a glossary of terms, and a hardy slipcase make The Disney Encyclopedia of Baby and Child Care a welcome addition to the family bookcase. --Naomi Gesinger From Publishers Weekly Four respected pediatricians have compiled this encyclopedia, illustrated with drawing, in which style and substance are given equal consideration. Volume I, Infant and Child Development?Birth to Age Six, speeds through the dense progression of these years, suggesting milestones and signs of trouble for various ages and offering two additional sections, "Basics of First Aid" and "Common Childhood Symptoms" including fever and constipation. In Volume II, A to Z Encyclopedia of Child Health & Illness, 160 medical and behavioral concerns in alphebetical order, from "Abscess" to "Worms," are covered in a direct if surface fashion. As is that of the first, the content of the second volume seems oddly balanced, giving about the same space to such unusual pathologies as Wilms' tumor, a form of kidney cancer, as to strep throat and measles. The coverage of childhood medical issues is broader than it is deep; this encyclopedia will likely be most useful to parents as an initial reference, a starting point to further reading. 100,000 first printing; $300,000 ad promo. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Since the extended family no longer lives nearby, new parents often turn to books for advice on child care. These two new sources, although different in format and scope, provide useful information to parents with young children. The first volume of The Disney Encyclopedia of Baby and Child Care covers development from birth through age six, describing milestones and explaining care techniques. Boxes highlight important information. There are also sections on basic first aid and the common symptoms of childhood diseases. Volume 2 is an alphabetically arranged encyclopedia of child health and illness issues, with short entries on conditions and behaviors (e.g., aggression, toeing in, worms). A referral list of relevant organizations is included. The authors are pediatricians who provide current, high-quality information, but the material provided is at a ready-reference level. Readers seeking depth will need other sources, and this set lacks a bibliography. The authors of the successful "What To Expect" series offer a volume on the second and third years of life. This book contains 900 pages of useful information divided into four sections. Like the Disney set, the first part concerns development, milestones, pediatric checkups, and parental concerns, but the authors add valuable material on what parents should know and what they should teach toddlers. Part 2 on health and safety covers general care, nutrition, home safety, first aid, toilet training, and caring for children with special needs. Part 3 offers important information on the toddl
