4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book For Tweens and Teens, September 1, 2003

This review is from: Sign-Me-Fine (Paperback)

I was pleasantly surprised at how much information this book provided. Often times, you will find that most books about sign language do not even touch on the grammar of ASL. This book does so from the very beginning.

An easy read (and a quick one at that), there's lots of interesting information and good insight for young teens. There aren't a lot of pictures or illustrations though. This is pure reading as opposed to a sign language dictionary.

If you're interested in learning more about the grammar and syntax of American Sign Language, this book is well worth it's price. Highly Recommended by this Deafie! :o)
