Pretty good list of illnesses and what to do. For me, a lot of it seemed common sense, and things you could find on the internet, but also was helpful to read through all of them and get an idea about the different things that could happen.

I received this book from my daughters school. Being a mother of 2 and daycare provider I felt it was important to read this book. On the cover it says "Easy to Read • Easy to Use". I felt it was almost too easy to read and at times made me feel as if the authors thought I and all other readers were completely stupid. A great example of this would be in the section on Animal or Human Bites, "Animals include dogs, cats, rats, or others."... Um okay thanks for clarifying what animals are. :-/ However, I would still have read it even with it's dumbed down writing technique, because it does have very usefully information about what to do in a variety of situations. I will keep this next to my first aid kit and thumb to the sections if needed, but I will mostly likely not read it from cover to cover again.

As with many of the health and medical books I own, I have reads parts of them according to information I needed at that time. I am marking them as "Read" and they are all 5 stars!
