Easy to be read

This a complete book which is very easy to be read. It presents nice visuals as well as very useful summary boxes.

An easy to use, comprehensive text.

As a general practitioner who uses this book to answer fairly routine questions about care and treatment of children, I recommend it highly. It is easy to read and well organized. It openly acknowledges areas of ambiguity or controversy in the field and gives what appears to be a balanced view of the issues. I feel very comfortable relying on this text for most of my pedodontic questions.
