Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2?An approachable, easy-to-understand book about sign language. Words such as "play," "yellow," and "girl" are presented on single pages with cheery full-color illustrations as well as smaller black-and-white line drawings of a child demonstrating the sign. Thus, frogs on lily pads appear on the page for "green" and a smiling youngster signs the color. The slim text consists of hints for making and remembering the sign. The sign for "girl," for example, mimics tying the strings of a bonnet, and the sign for "stop" shows hands formed like a barrier. This will be a popular addition for most collections.?Christine A.

From Booklist

Gr. 1^-4. From the author/illustrator of Simple Signs (1995) comes another introductory picture book about sign language. Each page introduces a new word chosen from vocabulary that young children might actually use, such as sun, play, girl, sit, yellow, apple, yes, stop, monkey, and fish. A watercolor painting illustrates the object, action, or idea, while an ink drawing shows a child demonstrating the hand position and motion for the sign. Simple and pleasant in its design, this book will serve as an attractive resource for beginning students of sign language. Carolyn Phelan

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book of practical words for everyday use, October 2, 1998

By A Customer

This book like its companion book "Simple Signs" was designed for the everyday person. Both books contain signs needed on a daily basis and is a wonderful first book of signs. The diagrams and explanations of how to do the sign are first rate and easy to understand and the illustrations are beautiful. I can not say enough about these books except to thank Cindy Wheeler for understanding her audience so well.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Simple Signs, March 13, 2002

By	Bobbi Hudec (Salmo, B.C. Canada) - See all my reviews

I really like this book. The pictures are beautiful and the signs are very clear. I wanted something very simple to show
the children at school and this is both simple and self explanitory. Each picture is followed by another picture showing the action and then there is a "hint" explaining hand positions and movement. I think the children at my school are going to love this book.
