5.0 out of 5 stars Quintessential Pediatric Derm Book, October 16, 2007

By	Peds Derm Fanatic - See all my reviews

This book is a solid addition to a Pediatrician, Dermatologist or aspiring medical student's library. The pictures are detailed, and the accompanying text is nicely organized. The CD-ROM is a pleasant addition, as it has "slide-show" capabilities where you pick certain images to show. I use this function to teach residents and medical students. Overall, a great purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best pediatric derm book for pediatricians, July 24, 2009

By	Too Cold in Madison (Madison, WI, USA) - See all my reviews

I love this book. I consider it the best pediatric derm book for pediatricians. Hurwitz is more comprehensive and is probably better for dermatologists, but this is more accessible for pediatric primary care and the price is more palatable. For family physicians, the new edition of Habif may be better for its nice combination of adult and pediatric dermatology.
