     Now in it's third edition, this acclaimed guidebook has been thoroughly updated by health advocate Keene. The author covers expected topics, such as preparing your child for a procedure, communicating with the staff, advocating for your child, and familiarizing yourself with the facility. She also includes two chapters for family and friends of a hospitalized child, outlining what is helpful (babysitting siblings) and not helpful (quipping "God only gives people what they can handle"). Keene provides information for more long-term care situations and how best to keep the schools informed, along with brief chapters on dealing with insurance companies and organizing medical and financial records. VERDICT The brevity of information, while somewhat dry in presentation, may be just what the doctor ordered for the concerned or uninitiated parent. Libraries would serve their communities well by having this title available in its newest edition.
