Series Review: Kids' Health"Hypothetical situations with fictional characters put readers in the moment and provide a solid foundation for comprehending these various conditions... This approach, paired with the well-chosen photos and diagrams, makes the books informative for their intended audiences: children who suffer from the disorder and their friends, family, or classmates. Though frank about whether a disease has life-threatening aspects or no cure, Robbins maintains a comforting tone, reassuring readers that it is possible to lead active lives with proper attention to diet and guidance from parents and doctors."
