"Written by well-respected pediatric specialists in their field ... This book meets the need for an accessible pediatric rheumatology reference, with substantial updates from the previous edition." -- Doodys

"the book maintains a practical Monday morning approach to the problems without delving into the basic science that can often be daunting ... have no hesitation in recommending as an outpatient clinic or ward companion." -- Raju Khubchandani, The Indian Journal of Pediatrics

"This handbook is comprehensive yet concise and would serve as a handy and quick reference point in the clinic. It would be useful not only for pediatric rheumatologists but also for trainee pediatricians, nurses, and multidisciplinary therapists. The authors need to be congratulated for their efforts." -- Indian Journal of Rheumatology
