2.0 out of 5 stars Nice Pictures, poor diagrams of signs, October 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Animal Signs: A First Book of Sign Language (Board book)

I was very disappointed with this book. Although the photos of the animals are adorable, the accompanying sign for the animal is only 1"x1" hardly big enough for an adult to learn from let alone a 2 year old. I realize this is a baby book, but I am teaching my son to sign and he learns from looking at the picture also.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book for teaching kids the ASL alphabet., March 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Animal Signs: A First Book of Sign Language (Board book)

The pictures of animals are stunning. My son was immediately captivated by the large, colorful images. He's now 2, and has learned the signs for 11 letters of the alphabet - in only 3 weeks. However, a few of the animal/sign combinations were obscure; Lynx for L - it looks like a cat, N is represented by a Nautilus shell. I think it's a great book. He and I had a lot of fun, his finger dexterity has improved immensely and he will now do the letter signs on his own...

This review is from: Animal Signs: A First Book of Sign Language (Board book)

This is a great book! I've actually had to buy two copies (the first was read so much during mealtime that it was covered in cereal and had to be replaced!). My son first sign was "fish" because of the beautiful photo of a goldfish in this book! Both my children love to spend time reading this book with me. I learned the signs from the drawings in the book, and my children learned the signs from me reading the book with them over and over - it's an absolute favourite!
