4.0 out of 5 stars
The most extensive, detailed children's health reference., January 23, 1999
This review is from: The New Child Health Encyclopedia: The Complete Guide for Parents (Paperback)
This book has the most details of any children's health reference book I've seen. Each entry contains at least a paragraph dedicated to Description, Cause, Signs and Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention, as well as additional sections such as Emergency Action and Complications, when they apply. I have four children's health reference books, and this one always has the most, and usually best, information of the group. I really feel it is best-of-breed. In addition to standard issues such as chicken pox, fever, croup, asthma and RSV, New Children's Health Encyclopedia also covers topics such as fire safety, trimming fingernails, mental health, and many adolescent topics. I find it to be a very comprehensive, valuable reference to have on hand.

Book review, January 2, 2012
This review is from: The New Child Health Encyclopedia: The Complete Guide for Parents (Paperback)
This is the best book available for child health care. I got my copy 25+ years ago. I gave a copy to my oldest daughter when her first baby was born-she is now 15. This copy went to youngest daughter who just had her first baby. It has been updated with lots of info on autisim for parents. I was so comfortable that if my daughters had a problem I could look it up and had easy to read medical info. It also covers feeding, baby stages, etc. I recommend this for any parent.
