Whether a child has traveler's stomach or dysentery, sunburn or heat stroke, Ryder, who has worked in three countries across three continents, spells out potential symptoms, what they might mean, and how parents should react to them...

I love this book! I bought this book while I was pregnant with my first child and have found it indispensible. I find that it answers all of my questions and concerns, and the dosing guides for medication are really handy. Having it around has made me a more confident parent, and I'm not bothering the pediatrician with phone calls. I always give this book as a baby shower gift, and it is always much appreciated.

This is the perfect (and portable) Pediatric sourcebook covering most pediatric concerns. I use this professionally as an emergency room physician. It is emminently comprehensive and readable, the layperson's Nelson's or Harriet Lane. I recommend Dr. Ryder's book enthusiastically.

This book is a treasure chest of current medical advice for parents and grandparents. As a retired pediatrician, I have given a copy of this book to our children to use for themselves and the grandchildren. A friend's granddaughter had a reaction to peanuts and was immediately able to find advice in the book.
The advice is current, easy to find and understandable.It also suggests some medications to have with you when you travel with your children. I think all parents will find it helpful. James E. Jones MD
