This is a great book for children and adults. The art is really good and keeps children interested. Also it is educational. It teaches kids the alphabet and sign language for every letter. This is a really great book and I recomend it to any parent.

It's a very clever idea - every page shows the handsign for the letter, and a picture of an animal. (Sometimes, as with B, we get two animals - bear and bee.) I firmly believe that using signs and the manual alphabet helps to reinforce literacy skills.

But some of the animals are a little obscure - like the nautilus or the urchin - and the names aren't printed on the pages. You have to flip back to the index. That makes reading the book with a young child awkward. Also, I would really have liked to have seen - even in the index - a list of signs for the animals themselves.

Never received this book. Contacted seller and asked for money back and never received.
