Each condition is described by an expert yet in an uncomplicated and pragmatic way, providing a brief summary of the key conditions, common findings and diagnostic dilemmas, and practical management. This is as true of the most specialised chapters as for general chapters on toddlers and adolescents. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePossibly the most useful I suspect will be the excellent chapters based around problems or symptoms. The series of ‘The Child with’ chapters on Cough\/Diarrhoea\/Fever\/Frequent Infections and so on, will be particularly useful for GPs I imagine, and will also provide paediatricians with sensible approaches to these common clinical presentations. I was particularly gratified to see obesity, mental health and adolescent medicine given so much space, recognising the importance of each of these in modern clinical child health. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI loved the many practical examples, showing the humanity and years of experience of the writers. The chapter entitled ‘Frequent Flyers in the toddler years’ is full of this wisdom and I can imagine many general practitioners (which I was once extremely briefly) and paediatric trainees keeping this section particularly to hand for ready reference. My favourite section was ‘A toddler who just will not sleep’.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI thoroughly recommend this book and believe it will give readers continuing value through their undergraduate and post-graduate years.\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e-Professor Russell Viner CBE \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormer RCPCH President (2018-2021)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProfessor of Adolescent Health, UCL Institute of Child Health\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"It is a very approachable book and immensely practical.
