Working With Children in Hospitals is a very valuable and meaningful book to me, and it could be for all interested and concerned pediatrichospital personnel.

The increased use of pictures, which serves to emphasize children's thoughts and feelings, I found very valuable, as well as the chapter "Children Tell Stories and Draw."

They give the hospital personnel still another tool to assist in understanding the child and what illness and hospitalization means to him.
