I was lucky enough to take this author's class with my son in KC. After a few months of signing to him, he began signing nonstop around age 11 months. It helped immensely to reduce his frustration (and mine!) in communicating his needs and wants. He learned new signs quickly and his vocabulary/recognition of new objects grew immensely in the months to follow. Now that he is 2, his verbal skills are highly advanced (he speaks very clearly and can compose complex sentences), and I firmly believe this is due to the strong language base he started with the signing programs.

The songs and games in this book are still some of his favorites! Glad to see this great resource is available to parents everywhere! Thanks Anne!

This book and cd are wonderful! The cd has so many good songs. Not only is the music fun, but the book has great age-appropriate language activites to go along with the songs. (As a former teacher, I loved that reinforcement!) Our daughter especially liked the homemade picture books we made to reinforce the signs. It was so awesome to be able to communicate with our daughter before she could talk. She is almost three now and even though we don't need to sign anymore, she'll start signing when she hears the songs. I highly recommend this book and cdl!

This book and the music CD is a staple at our house. My daughter has loved all the music since she was under 1, and now she is 2 and still asks to listen to it. My daughter started signing at 7 months and knew more than 25 signs at a year old.... and I owe it all to the Sing and Sign program. It is fantastic! You can't go wrong with this book... especially since it also has a great music CD to listen to anytime.

I am a music therapist in Kansas City and also a mom to a 3 year old and 1 year old. This book gets as much use in the classroom as it does at home!

I teach special needs children ages 3-12 and I have used this book and the accompanying recording in all my classes. Several teachers have purchased the book themselves! My own children love the songs and and the signs. I get frequent requests at school and at home for the Baby Sing and Sign!

I am very excited about this book as I am a music teacher always looking for new things. Although I haven't yet incorporated this in my classes I cannot wait to start as the ideas in this book has given me renewed enthusiasm and I feel energised again.

Being from the Kansas City Area, I am familiar with the creator of this book/CD combo and used a previous version with my now 4 year old. I am so excited to see a new version out just in time for my now 6 month old. As an Early Childhood teacher, I know the importance of using sign language with infants and toddlers to boost communication and reduce frustration. However, music has never been my strength. Baby Sing and Sign has helped me come out of my shell and given us an additional opportunity to introduce signs into our family's "vocabulary."

This book and CD are beyond wonderful for not only teaching your baby or toddler sign language, but also enjoying fun music together. My child loves the songs and requests to hear them and sing them again and again. A must-have book and CD for all families with babies and toddlers!!!

This book helped me to be a better mother and a calmer mother. Learning how to communicate with our baby before she can talk was such a blessing to our whole family. I loved that! This will be my number one pick for every baby shower or new baby gift. I got one for my parents so they can communicate as well.

I'm a Baby Sign Instructor. I bought this book to use as a teaching tool for my class. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with a baby, toddler, or child. Communicating with your baby with the combination of voice & sign has too many benefits to include in a book review. If you're interested do the research for yourself. This is just one more great book about baby sign.

I'm soooo happy that I bought this book! It's a very thorough combination of a library of signs we can use to communicate with infants, beautiful music to use with the signs, and a lot of VERY GOOD ideas for crafts to accompany the related topic. The author was right, "Roll the Ball" is a HIT in any small child class. The book also has an index of related sources, websites and ect for signing for children. Though this book is designed for "babies" I think it's also good for toddlers (or the almost walking age). I mentioned this book on a discussion for small children and the discussion about the book is REALLY picking up!
