The Philadelphia Guide is by far the best book for inpatient Peds I have found...really a must have.

Agreed. I'm a 4th year right now; I've kept it with me during all my rotations. Great reading in between patients. I will say that I have ran into some residents who do not prefer it, but I would recommend that for anyone going into peds.
