The arrival of a newborn baby brings unparalleled joys
in the life of parents and relatives. Every action of the baby whether a
tiny step or a big milestone, is keenly anticipated and cherished. The
Smile Baby Book is a structured scrapbook to document and store such
memories, with pictorial aids for parents on vaccination and monitoring of
growth and development. A unique innovation is use of attractive animal
theme. Information of complementary foods and development of good food
habits could enhance the value of the book. The authors have shown
considerable innovation in the design of the book by providing pockets for
audio DVD, Video DVD, baby snaps DVD in the book. Smile Baby Book is
highly recommended for all parents.

Adolescent Health:
Case Scenarios
Swati Y. Bhave
New Delhi: Byword Books Private Limited; 2011.
Page: 384. Price: Rs.995/-. |
This excellent treatise on adolescent health speaks of
volumes about the passion, zeal and knowledge of its editor, a renowned
name in adolescent health. Dr Swati has used a pedagogical technique for
learning that is very appropriate for busy practitioners; i.e. by
discussing the problems of adolescents through case-studies. The
case-studies span over a wide variety of topics related to ethics, growth,
nutrition, sexuality, and mental and physical health. The book is
hardbound and printed in a single color on good quality paper. The
practical utility could have been enhanced by representative
illustrations, and an Index for quickly locating the desired material.
Overall, a must read for all pediatrics practitioners, postgraduate
students and those involved in care of adolescents.
