From the book reviews:

"The objective is to provide quick access to most pediatric surgery topics for consultants, fellows, students, nurses, etc. ... Since all information is provided in bullet points, the text is simple and straightforward, and most any medical practitioner could readily use this book. ... This is a fast read with good, standard information on most pediatric surgery conditions. It will make a nice companion book in many pediatric surgery libraries ... ." (Robert M. Arensman, Doody's Book Reviews, December, 2014)
