Wong is THE pediatric textbook, the Bible of pediatric nursing. It's more than worth the money.

It certainly has photos and diagrams of pediatric nursing skills as well as written guidelines that "talk you through" skills and procedures. There's a CD that has video of some skills as well. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Wongs-Essentials-of-Pediatric-Nursing/MArilyn-J-Hockenberry/e/9780323025935#TOC
