Product Description
Why are thousands of hearing parents signing with their hearing babies? According to a long-term study at UC Davis, funded by the National Institutes of Health, signing babies:
• talk sooner and have larger vocabularies
• have stronger parent/child bonds
• have less frustration, crying and tantrums
• show more interest in books
• engage in more sophisticated play
• have increased IQ scores
Signing also increases baby’s self-esteem and gives parents a window into their child’s mind and personality.
In Baby Sign Language Basics, parents will learn 60 baby-friendly American Sign Language signs. Baby-specific signing techniques, songs, and games are included to make learning fun and easy, and also open up two-way communication quickly. Baby Sign Language Basics is the perfect baby sign language book for new parents. After all, what parent doesn’t want to know what their baby is trying to tell them? (And the book is even small enough for the diaper bag!)

 Gift for my new grandson April 25, 2008
My son and daughter-in-law are very excited to begin teaching sign language to their first child.
Our purchase arrived in a timely manner and it was just as we expected from the information given in the ad.

Sign Language February 8, 2008
Wonderful pocket size beginner book. It has helped my tremendously with my granddaughter. We've been using this for months. She is now 16-months-old and uses sign language everyday to tell me what she needs. I love being about to take this along with me in her diaper bag.
 not enough signs... December 18, 2007
This is a great started book. I wanted more signs so I researched dictionaries and one of the best ones was Teach Your Tot to Sign. It really doesn't do a lot of teaching but it has tons of signs that I can use with my son. Buy this one to start and then the other to continue.
Great Little Book; Quick Read October 4, 2007
This book gives a great overview and intro. to baby sign language basics.
Our daughter is now 14 months and we've started using signs when she was around 6 months old. She now signs about 40 words! Besides the practical aspects of being able to meet her needs more effectively, it is a HUGE gift to be able to get to know her better at such a young age. Because she has a vocabulary that she can use, we get to 'hear' what is on her mind (babies, butterflies, dogs, ceiling fans,etc.) on a daily basis. How cool is that?!
I recommend that everyone give it a try. Giving your baby 'words' before they are ready to speak verbally, is an amazing gift.
