Summary: Good common-sense approach to checking your child's health
Review: Often it's hard to know whether a child is sick enough to take to the doctor's office. I found this book very helpful--it gives an overview of what to worry about (or not worry about), organized by the particular symptoms a child has. It's also written clearly, with common sense and intelligence. Now I have a much better idea when a fever or rash might be a problem, how to manage diarrhea through diet, etc. Until they start making kids with indicator lights that go on when they need medical attention, I'll be giving my friends who are new parents a copy of this book.
