Dr William Feldman: The New Zealand 3am Handbook

Tandem Press

$29.95

With assistance from the Auckland Starship, Tandem has localised this useful child's health book first published in Canada. Its title is apt.

There are few things more disturbing than trying to decide how sick a child is in the early hours of the morning.

Nor should questions about the health of children start at the hospital.

Chapters on "safety" and comprehensive listings for child health and welfare organisations mean parents can become better informed on a wide range of issues.
