4.0 out of 5 stars Simple, but has a clear layout, and very fun!, January 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Expanded Songs in Sign (Beginning Sign Language Series) (Signed English) (Paperback)

This is a small book, but it has a very clear layout with eleven songs including: If You're Happy, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Bingo, Row, Row Your Boat, The Muffin Man, The Mulberry Bush, London Bridge, Over The River and Through The Woods, Tell Me Why, She'll Be Coming 'Round The Mountain, and The Bear Went Over the Mountain. The lyrics to the song are written out, with the corresponding musical notes above the lyrics, and the sign for each word below the lyrics. There are no instructions, however, of how to make each sign. They assume you either already know how to do the sign, or can figure it out by looking at the picture. (And for the most part, you can.) Overall, a very fun little book!

This review is from: Expanded Songs in Sign (Beginning Sign Language Series) (Signed English) (Paperback)

I'm going to purchase this book, however, based on another customers review about not knowing the songs in the book I completed a search on the web and found the list of songs. I hope this is useful for anyone else who wants to purchase this book.

Another reviewer for the "Songs in Sign" book (their first book)commented to buy "Expanded Songs in Sign" instead of "Songs in Sign" because this one cost $2 more but you get more songs.

Since I didn't buy this book yet and I have to rate it to put in a review I'm rating it 4 stars based upon what others have said elsewhere.

Here are the songs that are included in this book:

1.Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,
2.The Mulberry Bush,
3.Row, Row, Row Your Boat,
4.If You're Happy,
5.Bingo,
6.The Muffin Man,
7.London Bridge,
8.Over the River and Through the Woods,
9.Tell Me Why,
10.She'll be Coming 'Round the Mountain,
10.The Bear Went Over the Mountain.

This review is from: Expanded Songs in Sign (Beginning Sign Language Series) (Signed English) (Paperback)

I bought this one and the companion to it. They are TERRIBLE!
The pictures are almost impossible to follow. Some of the hand movements do not make sense and if you don't already know the sign, you will not figure it out.

Also, this is NOT ASL! this is SIGNED EXACT ENGLISH.

I am so disappointed! I do not recommend these books to ANYONE.
