"This is a tremendous resource for providers caring for pediatric patients. It is what one would hope and expect from the American Academy of Pediatrics: a trusted, relevant, comprehensive, well-organized book that serves as an essential and invaluable resource for practicing providers. I highly recommend this second edition to anyone caring for children, and I think they will come to find it to be the cornerstone resource for pediatric care today."

"This is an excellent resource for clinicians involved in the care of children. The organization enables easy access to subjects and the chapter supplements and resources are particularly helpful in providing information important for the care of these patients in a clinical setting."

The targeted audience is practicing pediatricians, but the book is also extremely useful for family medicine and meds-peds physicians as well as midlevel providers such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Residents and fellows also would benefit from having this as a trusted and comprehensive resource and a solid foundation for their learning.
