Written by four respected pediatricians, The Disney Encyclopedia of Baby and Child Care is a comprehensive and highly accessible reference guide for parents of young children. This two-volume set provides quick hits of information for every conceivable parenting quandary. Volume 1 concentrates on early childhood development, from birth through age 6, and includes sections on speech development, social interaction, behavioral problems, and mobility. Easy-to-read charts and simple diagrams make this a great book for the time-strapped. Volume 2 is an A-Z of childhood diseases and behavioral concerns--running the gamut from measles to worms. Although parents won't find in-depth medical information here, this hefty book is still handy for quick reference. Two hundred color illustrations, a glossary of terms, and a hardy slipcase make The Disney Encyclopedia of Baby and Child Care a welcome addition to the family bookcase. --Naomi Gesinger
