This is a good book for those who are familiar with sign language and want more information that is available in most introductory texts on food signs. My only complaint is that there aren't that many signs here. You'll still have to finger spell alot of words after this one...

I am a license Interpreter and also the child of Deaf Adults (CODA). I have many sign language dictionaries but was looking for something that I could use with my son, who is two, that would be visual, sturdy and not be Signed English. This book fits all of my criteria. While some of the signs are a little "English" this book is a wonderful resource to teach my child sign. When learning or teaching sign- language it is better to connect the sign to the object it represents that to connect it to the English word. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to teach their children American Sign language.

An AWFUL book for teaching sign language to your kids! There are no written instructions for how to sign the words, and the drawings of the hand movements are not clear at all. Unless you are VERY familiar with sign language, it is impossible to "interpret" the signs, and even with a decent knowledge of it, I had to refer to my sign language dictionaries to find these food signs!
I will never buy another sign language book from this publisher. Our copy of this and several other Garlic Press books have made it to the "I don't care if you chew these or rip these" pile of books.

Anyone who truly NEEDS sign language books for thier children (as opposed to people teaching sign as a hobby or for fun) would be much better off investing in a sign dictionary, videos (like Signing Time, whihc I highly recommend!), or books with written instructions.

These books were truly a dissapointment, and I am so glad they were super inexpensive, or I would have returned them.

This is a pretty cool book to learn food signs but some of the pictures are a little confusing and there is no explanation or directions on exactly what to do so your not sure if your doing the right thing.
