We Love Sign and Sign!
My kids love the music and the signs are easy to teach. My daughter signs to my son and he UNDERSTANDS!

baby sing and sign
This book provides easy to follow songs and signing for your toddler. This might be considered the first step in teaching your baby how to sign. After reading through the book, I got ideas about engaging activities to perform with my child, but wished there were more displays of words to sign.

Gramma too!
What an amazing concept, the ability to communicate with my granddaughter at 10 months. The author is able to make her musical notes jump right off the page with easy-to-read explanations & signs. I particularly enjoyed the stories which made this phenomenon come to life. This has become my "baby bible" as I continue to re-read and practice as often as I can, and now at 14 months,signing has become second nature to my granddaughter, i.e. "please, more, all done, milk, love," etc. The accompanying CD is unmistakably the highlight of our day as we sign, sing, and dance to the author's melodies. A "must" for any library, young or old!
