What happens when a deaf father wakes up with two extra arms? Is this two too many? or just enough? In the deaf world, is it possible to hug tightly and sign at the same time?

About the Author

This book was written and illustrated by the second grade class of the New Mexico School for the Deaf. Since deaf children often struggle with English, Too Many Hands?? marks an important step forward in their quest for literacy.

Well known deaf artist Chuck Baird helped the children with their illustrations.

This review is from: Too Many Hands?? (Hardcover)

I am a teacher of 2nd graders. This year we received a new reading program called Treasures. In the first unit, one of the stories is called "Meet Rosina". It's about a deaf girl and her family life. She mentions that in her school, her second grade class created a book called "Too Many Hands???", So, I found it here on Amazon.com. I purchased the book and was very pleased with the book. My students were so happy and excited to see the book, let alone read it. The story is very cute and well done (especially for second grade students). Recommended highly! Hope you enjoy as much as we did.
