This is a useful reference for medications and therapies that help pediatric patients. The book provides important messages about assessment, prescribing, and when and how to refer. If you provide consultative services, or regularly update your primary care colleagues, thank you! Consider suggesting this small textbook to them. And if you don't, and would like to, call around to some offices, and tell them you would like to bring by a small gift from the AAP. And then call them back in a few weeks to see if anyone has any lingering questions about your shared patients.
