 Check this out! August 28, 2006
I have a daycare with children who use & do not use sign language. Personally i have used signs for a long time. This book is not only a teaching tool, but fun for the kids to use. I have created a memory game with some of the basic signs that children use everyday. With the other teaching books i have & use this is the one the children flock to to learn new signs. I only wish i had bought it a long time ago. After i bought it i had an instant request from a parent to buy one!

This book is great for children. The pictures of the signs are very easy to understand and the pictures illustrating the words are wonderful. My four-year old doesn't need to be able to read the vocabulary word to understand the book herself. She loves this book. I'm a sign language interpreter, the book shows ASL signs, but no grammer rules. It's basically a sign dictionary. I agree it's missing a few key signs, but overall I really like this book. I just recently used this book to teach a Parent/Toddler sign class. Everyone in the class liked this book.

I found this book to be a poor guide to learning beginning signs. It has no verbal directions for each sign, just a picture. And a lot of times, the picture is just inadequate. I think it would help most people to understand the signs much better with written descriptions alongside each picture.
 A much loved book! February 6, 2004

We purchased this for our son who has Down Syndrome. At 18 months he was only saying a few words and our Speech Pathologist recommended we introduce him to sign language. We immediately began teaching him sign language (ASL) and he learned very quickly. So quickly, that we could no longer rely on the Speech Pathologist to supply us with copied pages of her edition. It is an excellent books for children of any age to learn sign language. The cartoon pictures of the children doing the signs in the book are adorable. The only drawback is that it does not include "polite" words such as "thank you", "you're welcome", "please", etc.
An Adequate Book For Children August 31, 2003

If you are searching for a sign language resource to help your child learn to sign (I would say younger than thirteen), this may be very helpful and meet your needs. This book has signs separated into categories, then, to help the child understand the concept as well, it has an illustration of the item or action and another illustration of that word being signed. All of this is adequate to teach your child or pre-teen basic sign language vocabulary.Notice, I did not write "American Sign Language." Why? That is not taught in this book. It does have many ASL signs (it also has many English-based signs), but it does not teach the language. That is why I do not recommend this for anything other than teaching a child some vocabulary. I own this book and, being Deaf, tried to copy some pages and have kids color them...to see if this stimulates interest. I found that the children did not hold interest for a long time, but, when I cut out each word and taped it around the room, vocabulary use was increased marginally. Recommended for children -- NOT adults.
