This basic intro to signing is wonderful! My two hearing children were almost obsessed with the book when I got it about a year ago. It comes with a felt board and velcro pictures of the actual objects (such as ball or cracker) the book teaches signs for. Very clear, easy to understand. What a wonderful reference as well as fun children's book.

I, too, was a little disappointed in this book. I was expecting a little more information on the hows and whys of signing with your baby. I like the colorful pictures and it will be fun to play some of the recommended games. There is pretty much only a page or two of text in this book. Anyone who is looking for any information other than the 15 or so signs it teaches should not buy it.

Meredith Layton has done essentially a fine job with this toy. The description of "Baby's First Words", however, as a book is exaggerated. The actual information about communicating with your child using signs is non-existent. As a toy or a 'board book', it seems very useful. Its compact size and portability mean it will likely be available to Nadira's proud parents anywhere we take her. The limited and unexplained 'activities list' on one quick page of the book have yet to be tested.

Again, this 'board book' has it all.....except information.

This has been an incredible tool for my family to effectively communicate with our babies and toddlers through the use of sign language. We have used this book for 3 of our 4 children and would have used it for the other one; however, it wasn't in production.

As a mother of four, I highly recommend Sign & Say to any parent, especially babies around 8 months old. Congrats to Meredith Layton on her achievement of a tactile and well-illustrated resource!!!

As a Deaf mom with an 18 year old boy, I thought this book is the best signing book for kids his age. The interactive board is stupendous. My son loves the pictures and can sign ALL of them. Yes, it is not a reference book, it is for kids. The reason why I give it 4 stars and not 5, is because of the ring binding makes it too easy for kids to rip out pages, but the book itself is champ.
