Children are able to communicate by signing before they develop the skills necessary for speech. By teaching sign language to children from as young as seven months we can help them to convey their emotions and their needs. This signing guide for hearing and deaf children contains forty-eight animal signs taken from British Sign Language. Babies and toddlers are illustrated using the signs for a range of domestic, wild and exotic animals, as well as mini-beasts and birds.
My First Animal Signs (Baby Signing)

What a wonderful book!,
This review is from: My First Animal Signs (Baby Signing) (Board book)
I work with infants and use baby sign to help the children communicate with us. This book is just wonderful! Great pictures and simple gestures help you and the child lean the signs for animals like cat, dog, fish, hamster, lizard, mouse, and the list goes on and on. What I like about this book is that they try and stay with familiar animals and animals the children may have had actual contact with. There are a few like "panda" that are a bit exotic, but still something you could find at the zoo.
I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: My First Animal Signs (Baby Signing) (Board book)
This book is awesome! My two year old is hearing impaired and I ordered most of the books in this series. I am impressed with the the way the author and illustrators have put this book together. It is the easiest book I have found to teach not only myself and my daughter sign, but also for my other school aged children to learn as well. I highly reccommend this book for anyone who wishes to learn sign.

This review is from: My First Animal Signs (Baby Signing) (Board book)
This book was very helpful in teaching me to do animal signs so I could teach my toddler. My son is 20 months, and I've had this book for about 3 months. He's picked up about 5 or 6 signs that he can do on his own, and several more that he recognizes.
The book is much larger than I expected, and has more signs than I was expecting. It is a board book, so it stands up well to a toddler. The instructions for doing the signs are clear, and they give you an index of hand shapes on the back so you know what they are referring to. The signs include pets (cat, dog, fish, lizard, snake, hampster, bird, etc.), as well as animals you might see at the zoo (zebra, tiger, elephant, penguin, etc.), and animals you might see outside (spider, butterfly, duck, bee, bear, squirrel, rabbit, etc.). The only animal it was missing that we commonly see in our neighborhood is moose, but I learned that sign somewhere else (and my son uses it regularly). I would recommend this book to anyone teaching a child ASL, especially since toddlers really react to animal signs. Dog, cat & lizard were some of the first signs my son did! (We have 2 dogs, 2 cats & 2 lizards as pets).
