TLDR The book "Baby Skin" provides useful skin care guidance for parents and is well-received despite lacking visual aids.

The document is a review of the book "Baby Skin" by Nelson Lee Novick, which serves as a guide for parents on infant and early childhood skin care. The book emphasizes the importance of skin in tactile stimulation and bonding between parent and child. It covers practical advice on skin cleansing, sun protection, and addresses a variety of skin problems, offering clear definitions and treatment rationales. The second part of the book focuses on diagnosing and treating skin problems, including common dermatologic conditions and serious or life-threatening conditions, as well as physiological changes of pregnancy and postpartum issues. The reviewer, Edward J. Keuer, M.D., finds the book well-written and informative, achieving its aim of empowering parents, despite initially questioning its utility due to its focus on specific disorders. The book lacks photographs and tables to avoid confusing lay readers. Parents have shown interest in the book, asking if it was being distributed, indicating its appeal to the target audience.
