The New Child Health Encyclopedia

I came upon the The New Child Health Encyclopedia when I was looking for a baby shower present. I spent nearly two hours in the book store reading the information regarding children's health. This book is outstanding and a must have for new mothers. The book is easy to read and covers diverse suject matter relating to childrens health and well being. Great Book

The most extensive, detailed children's health reference.

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.
