Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - As the author indicates, this book is written based on fear. This book did more harm than good.
As a mother of a son newly diagnosed with a peanut allergy, this book did more harm than good. It is written, as the writer admits, out of fear. Yes, this is a dangerous allergy and great caution needs to be taken, but fear is not the answer. Parents and children need faith, support, and strength when confronting this challenge. There is no information in this book that is not found on the Web or in related books authored by medical professionals.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Too general
I have an infant that was just diagnosed with peanut allergies. This book was highly recommended - but I have to wonder if it was only by people with no common sense. There is nothing in this book that common sense doesn't tell you. And where the author has the opportunity to supply details or action information that can be used, she fails to go that extra step.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great resource
Great handbook for parents, anyone that cares for your child. I gave copies to people that my son spends time with, or is in their home. My friends were amazed how much they learned and it started lots of conversations about topic



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Easy to read and share!
I have a nut allergic toddler and have read all of the information I could find. This book is the easiest to read. It skips alot of the whys and background info. It is great for a babysitter and for relatives who will be providing food for your child. I bought four copies and had all of our relatives read it and any prospective babysitters (and any future teachers). It helps them to keep your child safe and in the case of an emergency, tells how to recognize reactions and what to do. A must have! ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - No new information
If you have a child with a peanut allergy and you have already done your research, then this book does not contain any new information. If you are just starting to research information on peanut allergy then this book may be useful in some areas. It is not a big book and is not very long. The book does, however, give you the option to personalize it to your child (you write your child's name in the blanks)and gives detailed instructions to leave caregivers on how to use the Epipen and a place to put emergency ...
