I'm a huge fan of all the Tarascon pocket books, and this one is no exception. While it's not comprehensive by any means, and you still need a hariette lane or other such coat-pocket reference, having this in addition will help you sail through the pediatric clerkship. You can find all kinds of emergent, urgent, and even mundane daily info in here, such as how many kcals/kg/day to feed a baby, how to replace fluids, what to do for DKA, basic bugs and drugs, and a zillion other super-important topics. It's well referenced and up to date, worth every penny and more.

Even if you carry a PDA, this little pocket sized wonder will eventually come in handy. Batteries don't last forever, and more than a few times I've had to drag out my Tarascon when someone else's PDA was DOA.
