Review
I liked the layout of this book far better then most of the top rated books. It has a good blend of baby sign language background and easy to follow, commonly used signs. The book is also good as a quick reference if you forget the exact way to do a sign. Overall, a great guide for first time parents looking for relevent material that your baby can use. The only thing that would make this book even better is if it were spiral bound, so it could be layed flat for easier viewing for parents and their babies. --Benjaman J Larochelle
This book is great. I was looking for something with easy to understand signs and easy to find in the book! My husband and I already have the basics down and have started introducing them to our child. The signs are easy and large so I can print them and take them to daycare so they know what she wants as well. I searched all over for books and this is by far the best I have found --J Baggett
This is an absolutely wonderful book! Exactly what I was looking for. It has a lot of pictures and instructions on how to do each sign. I have three kids and I don't have the time to just sit down to read. It's so great with this book to be able to just look up the word, view the picture and/or instructions, and I'm done. --R Krell

Product Description
Signing has taken the parenting world by storm. Every parent is eager to give their baby the best possible upbringing, the least frustration, and the best head start for achieving in today's driven, competitive society. Research (funded by the National Institutes of Health in the United States) has found that signing babies talk sooner and have larger vocabularies; have stronger parent/child bonds; have less frustration, crying and tantrums; show more interest in books; engage in more sophisticated play; and have higher IQ scores. Baby signing has been featured on Dateline and Oprah. "Teach Your Baby to Sign" features photographs of babies signing, plus line illustrations of each sign. It provides 200 useful signs, along with stage-by-stage guidance so parents will know which signs to teach first and which to add as their baby becomes progressively more skilled and comfortable with signing.

great book! Good descriptions how to do each sign. My baby loves looking at the pics and trying to imitate the other babies signing.
Format:Paperback
This book is well presented and very clear, however after receiving it I realised the Internet is a much better medium for passing on this type of information. It is the type of book that will be glanced at a few times and then lost on the shelf.

From a language professional, this is a great find!

I am a speech-language pathologist and am asked all the time, "Wont signing get in the way of my little one learning to talk?" NO--EMPHATICALLY NO! In fact, adding in sign PROMOTES spoken language! There are too many articles to cite here to back me up, but suffice it to say that when your baby points to milk and says, "mamama," she is already using gestures/signs--they come first before spoken language! All that said, I got this book for my brother and his wife--two CPA's with their first--because it is incredibly user friendly and gives real-world pointers for how to make the signs and in what contexts. It draws directly from American Sign Language, so in all seriousness, if your little one grows up to befriend someone who uses ASL, they will (on a very basic level) be able to "talk" with them! Honestly, a great resource for parents who are looking to make their first year or two with their baby smooth. Wouldn't it be great if you knew what your 7-month old was screaming about?? If he knows the sign for it, I promise you, he will tell you what he wants :) Enjoy!!
