"'Nurseries in Britain are about to be swept by the new craze of baby signing' The Observer, Sunday 2 March 2003; 'The practice is becoming popular among parents in America. In some states, such as Florida, it is commonplace. Now it has come to Britain, with classes and seminars being held to teach the technique. Informal mothers' groups are meeting weekly to spread the message and practice the gestures...' The Observer, Sunday 2 March 2003"
Product Description
Why are thousands of hearing parents signing with their hearing babies? According to a study by the University of California at Davis, signing babies have larger vocabularies, increased IQ scores and stronger parent-child bonds. Signing also increases baby's self-esteem and gives parents a window into their child's mind and personality. In this book, parents will learn 60 baby-friendly American Sign Language signs. Baby-specific signing songs and games are included to make learning fun and open up two-way communication quickly. The book is small enough to tuck in the diaper bag.

all the basics,
By "rubymagic" (central coast, nsw, australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baby Sign Language Basics: Early Communication for Hearing Babies and Toddlers (Paperback)
Baby sign language basics fulfills its title admirably and, for someone relatively new to the topic, like me, is a good place to start. The broad areas covered include>>about baby sign language >>getting started >>now you're signing >>signing for fun >>photographs of 60 signs with just enough information to answer your questions. The style of writing is upbeat and enthusiastic on the topic and has some good ideas for including signing as part of your interaction with your baby, including the words (and when to sign) to several nursery rhymes which I'd forgotten. Be aware, that although this book has 333 pages, take note of the dimensions 0.98 x 4.34 x 4.30 (inches) - it's pretty small (apparently so it can fit in your diaper/nappy bag). Overall, worth the price for it's intended audience.

This book is TINY,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Baby Sign Language Basics: Early Communication for Hearing Babies and Toddlers (Paperback)
I got the size book that is about the size of my palm. Although it fit in the van or my purse or anywhere, the pictures only showed one sign...so it's like ummm, am I supposed to make that sign in this direction or that direction or how many times or what. So although it's a basic book and it's nice to have on the go, there are some other ones out there that you can get. Well, the title is called basics isnt it. lol
5.0 out of 5 stars
