This 320 pages book is a great tool to teach the most common pediatrics problems. It includes 21 chapters that cover the most important fields of pediatrics with a good emphasis on growth and development, as well as fluids and electrolytes. The tables on developmental milestones according to chronological age help in memorizing those milestones and in teaching young pediatricians how to practice a proper developmental assessment, which I think is a very important part of assessing any child. The twenty-second chapter discusses informative pediatric mnemonics. The chapter on cardiology teaches the most important rhythm disturbances that a general pediatrician should know and highlights how to interpret electrocardiograms. The chapter on neurology includes several electroencephalograms that are helpful for effective teaching. It is well indexed with suggested references for reading. Learning general pediatrics from this book is made easy and interesting. It is very well illustrated and contains checklists and diagrams that facilitate the knowledge consolidation. Pediatric residents, medical interns, and students will greatly benefit from that book, which could be used also as a quick reference. The book, no doubt, is a very good buy. Residents in training will benefit from it while examining and managing children and while preparing for exams.
