Perspectives on Disease and Illness
8 Reviews

4-6
Perspectives on Disease and Illness series.
Short chapters define each disorder and describe symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Each chapter begins with an overview, ends with discussion questions, and contains lots of sidebar facts. Several paragraphs are repeated from book to book. Some photos show children younger than the target audience. Vignettes add variety but end abruptly. Bib., glos., ind.
