4.0 out of 5 stars Great educational tool, February 21, 2000

This review is from: My First Book of Sign Language (Whistlestop Books; Troll Books) (Paperback)

I used this book to teach basic sign language words to my class of second graders. The pictures are easy to understand. Now that I am taking a sign language class, I have discovered a few of the words are signed differently, but overall it is very helpful. The alphabet and numbers are taught as well as over one hundred other words. I would highly recommend it as a way to get children interested in sign language

I bought this for my son, who at the time was 8 months. This is his favorite book and now at 18 months can sign to me a sign off of every page. He loves to sign and loves learning new ones each week! Terrific first signing book with great illustrations!

This review is from: My First Book of Sign Language (Whistlestop Books; Troll Books) (Paperback)

My 3-year-old son really enjoys this book. The illustrations are bright, colourful and easy to understand, very well targeted to the audience. My son likes to 'try out' phrases and words in sign language, and does use them with me and his little brother. This is not a book to teach true sign language, but it is an excellent introduction for young children to the concept and basics of sign language. GREAT BOOK!
