Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-In both titles, a brown-skinned toddler signs elementary words such as "ball," "sleep," "hot," and "rain" in American Sign Language (ASL). A small box with a clear pencil illustration of the directions for signing the word appears in the corner of each larger picture of the child interacting with Dad and Mom. The bright, simple illustrations outlined in black will be appealing to preschoolers. The note on the back of the books points out, "-a growing number of researchers agree that not only deaf children but also hearing children can benefit from early exposure to sign language, often learning basic signs as early as nine months old, before they learn spoken words."-Olga R. Kuharets, Broward County Libraries, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Excellent Sign Book for Little Beginners,
By BB "barbx" (South Riding, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baby's First Signs (Board book)
We bought this book and its companion, "More Baby's First Signs" when my daughter was 8 months old. What I like about this book is that it's a board book, meant to withstand the abuse a small child can give it. The pages are easy to turn, the pictures are large and very cute and the signs are basic, "need to know" words like "more," "milk," and "bird." Also, diagrams on how to sign are easy to understand, which was important for me since I have no previous ASL experience. This book the perfect combination of a board book and a book to learn sign language. I think to expand on your child's sign vocabulary, you would need to buy additional books as these books have only 6-8 or so signs each -- but these are books are a good place to start, and your child can read them by themselves without ripping them to shreds!

Not reader-friendly/kid friendly,
By BabyNanny (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baby's First Signs (Board book)
I was disappointed by this book and its sequel, "More Baby's First Signs". The illustrations were dark and dull and would not engage a baby's attention. There were also very few words actually shown in each book. For an intro to baby sign language, I'd recommend My First Signs by Annie Kubler. It's fantastic!

ASL but not as interesting to baby,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Baby's First Signs (Board book)
The "Baby Signs" books are great to go through with a baby because the pictures are very inviting for the baby. I hoped these books would have that same inviting quality but be in ASL. Initially, my baby didn't like them as much as the "BabySigns" books, now at 15 months she seems to enjoy looking at the pictures in these books every bit as much as looking at the babies in the "Baby Signs" books.This books gives an excellent illustration of the ASL sign with each picture along with a drawing corresponding to the word.
