We got this for our 20 month old for Christmas. She will look thru the book over and over again. (she's never been better behaved in church!! :)) She can figure out most of the signs by looking at the animated picture and the clear, easy to read photo of how to do the sign. The text describing the movement of the signs help mom and dad make sure its being done right. The best ASL book I've seen!

I purchased this book along with "My First Signs" and think both books are great. "Everyday Signs" contains the signs for 29 words (including hungry, apple, banana, cookie, like, don't like, etc.) I got these books so I could learn the signs and teach them to my six month old twins. This book is so colorful and user-friendly that my three year old throroughly enjoys looking at the pages and is now helping to teach the babies some of his favorite signs. These books have definitely been fun for my entire family and I will be giving them as baby shower gifts in the future!

These books are the perfect companion for the Signing Time DVDs. My 2-year-old twins love to pick up and read these books. My 2 and 3-year-old nephews also love to read these books. There is the picture, the sign, and the word for the concepts on the DVDs. I have no doubt that these books will help my children as they learn to read words without pictures by them.

We absolutely loved the "Signing Time" DVDs, so this seemed like a really good reinforcement for our toddler. The one draw-back to the DVDs was the "cartoony" backgrounds they put the actual children that are signing into. It, to me, is similar to having your child's picture taken at a professional studio with a cartoon or an illustrated holiday background.

With the board book, we found this to be the case as well. The pictures of the children signing were pretty good--considering that you saw a still pose of the sign. But the cartoon frog "Hopkins" and other "cutesy" pictures distracts from the book a bit.

Having said that, the signs are really good, and they are relevant things to a child's life--so the signs are some that you will be able to use immediately. Some people could possibly find it difficult to learn the signs without the DVDs, but that would be the case with ANY board book, or any book in general, really. I would say that, minus the cutesy little illustrations, this would be a better choice than some of the board books with only illustrations, since in the past with all five of our children, they have always been drawn to real life pictures as opposed to illustrations. Something similar on this vein would be "First Signs (Early Sign Language)" by Stanley Collins, and others, that show real photos that children can identify with.

I LOVE THE SIGNING TIME SERIES AND RECOMMEND ANY OF THE BOOKS AND VIDEOS TO HEARING AND HEARING IMPAIRED CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES AND CAREGIVERS. THE BOOK ARRIVED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH PURCHASE.

Great book. I bought for my son who is Autistic and is non-verbal and he loves them. It also helps other family members understand what he is signing. They are extremely sturdy and well worth the money. They conviently have the words that are used in the book on the back of it for quick reference. I will by more of this product line.

Easy to read. Nice big, tough pages so my son doesn't destroy them! LOL Good reference when you can't put the dvd on.

I bought this series of 3 books for my son who was learning sign language because he was speech delayed. It was a huge help to everyone in the family and gave my son a method to communicate which alleviated some of his frustration. I highly recommend all 3 books in the series for any parent going through what we were going through.

THIS VOL. OF 'SIGNING' WAS ALSO A GREAT LEARNING TOOL! MY GRANDCHILDREN LEARNED SO MUCH. THIS MADE LEARNING SIGNS SO MUCH FUN FOR THEM!

My son loves this book. he watches Signing Times and then when this book came, he hugged it. He knows Rachael, Alex and Leah from the tv show. It is a board book and so he is not able to tear the pages off. Sometimes I catch him (16 months old) reading the book himself and doing the signs. The pictures and words are colorful and big. I can see him using this book for a long time.
