For a fairly thin book it really packed in lots of good information! It was easy to read and I liked the layout - a 2 page spread for each topic with illustrations on one side and text on the other. Obviously they couldn't have been expected to put in everything but they did cover way more than I expected. Only complaints are that sometimes the pictures weren't that clear and I got an extra age 13/14 in my copy which confused me for a second!
Particularly liked the red flag boxes on diagnoses not to miss. I'll definitely be looking at others in this series.
