"If you are going to own one dermatology reference for treating your pediatric population, I highly recommend it be this book. It is comprehensive, well organized, up to date and succinct, and the accompanying illustrations have excellent descriptions of the main educational point being shown. This is the sixth edition; the fifth edition was published in 2016." ©Doody's Review Service, 2023, Patricia Wong, MD (Private Practice)
