This somewhat unusual book on parent education concerning children is a compendium of advice assembled from the author's experience as a reporter in this field. It is made up of analysis and reviews of published interviews with many people specializing in child health and care. The text is well written, well above the intelligence and understanding of many parents, at about the same level as the newspaper the author represents. It is a good book for pediatricians and doctors, who will find a great deal of useful information in it.
