Product Description
Parents try to understand their children's needs and desires-but sometimes, they just can't figure them out. And that can lead to frustration for both the adult and the baby. Giving very young children the tools to express themselves can alleviate this unhappy situation-and make youngsters feel proud of themselves. Teach them the signs in this appealing collection and, before long, they'll be asking for help, requesting some juice and cereal, saying they want a nap, and (best of all) letting you know they'd love a nice, big hug. The long-term benefits are profound....the immediate benefits are priceless!

 My Daughter LOVES this book! March 2, 2008
I purchased the "Feelings" and "I Want" Baby Fingers sign books and my daughter absolutely LOVES them. We bought the books when she was 9 months (she is now 13 months) and she literally will drag them to me to flip through the pages with her, she'll 'read' them in the car, and she totes them around like they're her favorite toys.
The books basically consist of images of babies making a sign and what the sign means. My daughter has quickly learned several of the signs in the book and will often imitate them as we flip through the pages. As with any new skill, we have had to practice signing with her, but seeing the other babies making the signs on the pages have definitely helped to motivate her.
I definitely recommend these books as a special way to share time with your child and as a tool to help learn basic signs.
 For older toddlers, maybe... not for babies April 3, 2007

We started signing with my daughter when she was 6mo and now at 14mo she's become very interested in signing and particularly in her signing board books. Unfortunately there don't seem to be many great board books for young babies. These series has great pictures of kids doing the sign, but no pictures of the object/expression being signed about. It just has the word printed over the kid's head. That's not useful for a pre-reading child.
The only good books for the younger set I've found so far are the credolo and Gentieu Baby Signs books, which have gorgeous photos of the sign being done by a child and picture of the object; unfortunately, some of the signs are made-up rather than actual ASL signs.

This board book series is spectacular. The babies and toddlers are so precious and my toddler loves the photos. He's picked up new signs on his own from these books, and is now able to add "I want" to many of his requests for things. Why teach your baby made up signs from the baby signs books when you can learn american sign language from the baby fingers books??!!
 these books are terrible! September 16, 2006

We've made good use of the baby signs books. They are much better than the baby fingers series. I was so disapointed when this book arrived that I would have returned it if it weren't that the shipping cost more than the book. The book offers basically the same information (vocabulary) as the baby signs books. However, the baby fingers book only shows a picture of the child performing the sign. There are no pictures to put the sign in context. Thus, all this book really does is teach the parents the sign and make it their job to apply the sign when possible. What a waste!
Baby Sign Language is the BEST! June 16, 2006

This is a WONDERFUL book and an excellent place to begin signing with your baby. Another wonderful book is "I'm Feeling..." also by Lora Heller. Lora is an expert in signing as well as children. I signed with my baby from about 9 months, and he picked it right up. He is now a very advanced talker at 2.5 years of age. He loved signing, and so did I - it gave us a way to communicate before he could talk. I knew what he wanted and what he was feeling/thinking so much more often with signs! I can't say enough good things about it and about Lora Heller. The book has very clear pictures and directions for how to make the signs. Your child will like the actual pictures of other youngsters.
