Review
"'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
With 60 baby-friendly sign language signs, specific techniques, songs and games learning will quickly be fun, easy and a two-way communication.

3.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring book, but too few signs and all ASL, 15 Jun 2004
By Robert's Mummy (Oxfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This is a great introduction to signing for babies, and my son is already fascinated by the signs after just a few days. The drawback is that it is in ASL, which is only a problem if you intend your baby to be able to communicate with British Deaf users, or to go on to learn adult British sign language as a second language as I understand that BSL and ASL are very different. I have been unable to find a baby signing book using BSL.

A second slightly irritating point is that although the author puts in bold, throughout the text, words which can be usefully signed, she does not then include all of them in the dictionary section. Only 60 signs are included here, which I quickly found frustrating as she omits words like 'book' and other baby essentials. She suggests buying a separate ASL dictionary, which, in fact you will need very soon, if you start signing a lot.

Overall, though, this is a brilliant start to signing, and comes in a handy 'changing bag sized' format (about the size of many of the tiny baby board books).

1.0 out of 5 stars Warning - based on American sign Language, not British, 7 Mar 2004
Looks like a good book if you are expecting to use ASL and not BSL. Unfortunately the review does not tell you this, so I made the mistake of buying this and not a British signing book!
