[Amy Glass · Rating 5 out of 5]

In our world with the ever growing concern about food allergies in children and adults, this book is a must read. It is concise, informative, humorous, and one of the best guides for all who need insight into this real disease.

Very very basic. Not educational by any means. It's more of a support book to hear other families stories and struggles.
