Review

Whether a child has traveler's stomach or dysentery, sunburn or heat stroke, Ryder, who has worked in three countries across three continents, spells out potential symptoms, what they might mean, and how parents should react to them... Recommended for all public libraries and for hospital and walk-in medical center libraries, especially those supplying immunizations for world travel.

A unique publication of its type... a genuine resource book of helpful information for those traveling with children... Provides travelers with good explanations and practical tips on how to manage common health problems faced by the traveler.

His advice to parents is practical, sensible and easy for parents to understand.

A handy resource for home or on the road.

The well-indexed, accessibly written little handbook covers ailments from traveler's diarrhea to malaria... His first-aid tips are just as rich.

Well-indexed, accessibly written little handbook.

If you have children, you need this book! Comprehensive and easy to use, it will inform, empower, and encourage you.

This book succeeds admirably, providing state-of-the-art information in a comprehensive and easy to understand manner.
