My 8-year old uses this book every day to learn new signs. The part with the 'kid slang' signs is great. the photos really help show kids what their hands are supposed to be doing. I would recommend it for anyone whose child (6 and up) is interested in signing.

This is the best book on baby sign language that I have found. My husband and I had looked around for sign language books for our son and this one is far and above anything else out there.

First of all, the choice of vocabulary words is much more extensive than the other books I'd looked though. But even more important, the pictures of the kids signing are very clear. For someone who doesn't know ASL, it takes some getting used to how to make the different signs, and this book makes it very simple.

For anyone out there looking to start their child signing, we've found although it takes a LOT of persistence, it totally pays off. Our 20-month-old son has been signing for about a year and we notice that the number of "meltdowns" he has are much fewer than our friends' kids -- because he can tell us through sign whatever he can't express verbally. This book has been our bible.

The photographs in this book are much easier to follow that the drawings that I've seen in other books. This one also has more signs than other kids books because it's about sign language, not deafness. Best of all, it has a grammer section for ASL that is better than I've seen in ANY signing book, children's or adult's. An excellent choice!

I wish I had this book 5 years ago with my oldest child. Signing is so easy to learn from this book. The colors are vibrant, the pictures of the kids signing are large enough to actually see, and the categories are relevant to kids(school, home, feelings, favorite foods, animals, etc).!! I would recommend this book to anyone, young or old, who is learning to sign.

I love this book. It is a great begining sign language book. I bought it so my 19 month old daughter and I could learn together. The combination of the photos and the descriptions of how to make the signs helps even a beginner pick it up.

This is a WONDERFUL book and an excellent place to begin signing with your baby. Lora Heller is an expert in signing as well as children. I signed with my baby from about 9 months, and he picked it right up. He is now a very advanced talker at 2.5 years of age. He loved signing, and so did I - it gave us a way to communicate before he could talk. I knew what he wanted and what he was feeling/thinking so much more often with signs! I can't say enough good things about it and about Lora Heller.

Lora Heller's book is the best sign language book for kids I've come across. Her pictures and descriptions on how to sign a word are so easy to understand and learn. Her book teaches American Sign Language, not Baby Sign Language which is important to my husband and myself as we not only enjoy teaching our daughter but also enjoy learning it ourselves and are looking forward to continuing. This book has been a great reference guide for us and our 10 month old who just recently signed the words water, more and yes.

I am mom to a toddler, aunt to a 12 yr old girl and 8 yr old boy, and reading tutor to three kids ages 6, 11, and 15. We all love learning from this book. Heller's Baby Fingers Teaching Your Baby to Sign board books for babies and toddlers have also been great for my toddler.

This book has clear, easy to follow pictures. There is enough information in the first few pages to begin signing to/with kids!! Great book!

This is perfect for teachers, parents, kids of all ages. We're learning so much.
