Encyclopedic, yet accessible, easy to use for new and pro parents. Anticipates those goofy questions you think of at 3am. A must for house with small kids and babies, a fantastic gift for new and not-so-new moms and dads. We've given several. Will definitely save you a few trips to the pediatrician because of the wealth of info and ways to solve problems.
