[REVIEWER'S EXPERT OPINION] Bridget M Wild, MD (NorthShore University HealthSystem) **Description** This case-based book contains 50 common and consequential indications for the hospital-based care of infants and children. The cases are written in a way that is easy for readers to imagine meeting patients and their families, relate to the care and medical decision making, and retain the lessons learned. **Purpose** The purpose of the book is to present cases that guide learners through presentation, diagnosis, management, and resolution in pediatric hospital medicine. The book even provides tips on how to document and what type of anticipatory guidance to give at discharge. **Audience** The book is written with pediatric interns in mind, but is relevant to anyone participating in inpatient pediatric practice, including medical students on clerkship, family medicine residents, pediatric hospital medicine fellows, and pediatric hospitalist attendings looking to inspire their team or feel connected to the broader community's approach to common problems. The authors do an especially nice job of fleshing out the clinical reasoning that advanced clinicians may forget to share with trainees. Still, even seasoned faculty members can learn from each case, gaining the most precise and evidence-based approaches to common problems. **Features** The case vignettes are divided as they would present and unfold in real life, enabling readers to check their own reasoning against the discussion points. The evidence and clinical reasoning present a great balance of pragmatic yet evidence-based care, while infusing some of the more advanced and less executed approaches. The layout of each case is well done, and the bullet points of the discussion make the evidence easy to absorb. The featured boxes for clinical pearls, health equity focus, and documentation tips are truly aspirational, uniquely represented within the case discussions, yet clearly marked, rather than presented as an afterthought for optional reading. Each member of the team will benefit from these features. **Assessment** As a simulationist, this book resonated with me as experiential learning. It offers more clinical reasoning and evidence than some of the question bank-style, case-based learning common in training, without committing readers to a journal article. It will be most useful to approach the cases individually, rather than trying to read the entire book cover to cover. In self-study or a settled team, readers can focus on a case per week for rich learning or use the cases to supplement when the inpatient service scope is limited. ----------------------------------------------------------- Weighted Numerical Score: 95 - 4 Stars!
