From the reviews:

"...a good source for physicians as well as other healtcare providers who may participate in the care of children in environments likely to cause discomfort." -Weighted Numerical Score: 91 - 4 Stars!-Doody's Health Science Book Review Journal

"...serves as an up-to-date review of contemporary approaches to the unique needs of pediatric patients." -Weighted Numerical Score: 91 - 4 Stars!-Doody's Health Science Book Review Journal

"This is a multi-authored book with the majority being from Canada and then the U.S.A. … this would be a useful adjunctive book for a paediatric pain service library. … would be very helpful for the community paediatrician or perhaps the general practitioner undertaking significant paediatric pain problems on an outpatient basis."
