5.0 out of 5 stars My most valuable resource since the birth of my first child., June 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Baby and Child A-Z Medical Handbook (Perigee) (Paperback)

This book has always provided useful information 'at your fingertips' whenever needed. From the most minor baby afflictions to diseases that run rampant through daycares and schools.

Notifications and postings of sicknesses making their way through these social centers become more manageable when I can reference them and be on the lookout for symptoms. It has been a real life saver!

I buy this book for all the new mothers that I know.

1.0 out of 5 stars Little substance, not worth buying, September 29, 2001

A. Steele "Breastfeeding Guru" (Ashland, MA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Baby and Child A-Z Medical Handbook (Perigee) (Paperback)

This really wasn't what I expected. It is literally an alphabetical listing of childhood illnesses with a BRIEF blurb about the illness, symptoms and treatments. It is not very detailed and does not include all illnesses one might be concerned about. Provides no way for referencing by symptom... Very elementary test.... I can not recommend it at all.
