Summary: One of the best guidelines on childrearing in print
Review: Marvin Gersh was my son's pediatrician 30+ years ago. His down-to-earth caring approach to child care is well reflected in this book. Helpful hints as well as practical solutions to every-day problems. He even has a chapter on toxic plants. A must have for all new parents. Easy to read,funny and extremely informative. I have given this book as a gift at many baby showers.

Summary: Who needs Spock?
Review: This book is indispensable for any parent. Informal and down-to-earth, it gives you all the information you need (and some you didn't know you needed) in terms funny enough to make you want to read it just for the good lines. I have Spock, but I don't use him half as much as Gersh. I got this book when it came out in paperback about thirty years ago and I've relied on it ever since. It told me more than my mother did and kept me from driving my pediatrician nuts. I think it's great and I ought to know -- I've raised nine children on Gersh and all the married ones call me to ask what Gersh says about their kids' ailments. If I could afford it I'd give a copy to each of my kids as a first-baby gift.
