Baby Sign Language is very informative and will be a great reference as my baby grows as well as for my older children. The pictures and descriptions for the signs are spot on.

A wonderful book! It’s super easy to teach your child these signs, there’s many pictures and great explanations. Great guide for parents or anyone else working in childcare.

Sadly I did not find this book helpful at all for my daughter
Not sure if it eoukd help others out. 3 star book

This book is so useful! The pictures and description make it easy to learn and teach the signs. We have been working on signing with our twins. It helps so much with toddler frustration when they can communicate. An excellent book for parents. I would highly recommend it.

This book is a great resource for parents/grandparents or childcare workers that are interested in using simple signs to communicate with their baby. The author shares great information about when, how, and why to start baby sign language. I found the colorful pictures with written instructions on how to execute each sign very helpful. The back of the book contains resources for ASL learning online, helpful Parenting books, and Children’s book recommendations. The author also designed a program to teach baby sign language to families. You can find the program @signngrow .

This book would be a great gift for new parents or grandparents!

A really great introduction to using sign language with babies. I appreciated the author’s acknowledgement that ASL is a first language for the deaf community and that we can respectfully and conscientiously use it with our hearing babies to communicate.

As a fairly new grandparent seeing my grandson showing signs of frustration at communicating, I was excited to see this book. NetGalley provided me with a digital copy for review and having read it I can see the benefits of it! I’ve come away with a few signs I can use to help my grandson express himself and can’t wait to introduce them. The signs are well explained and demonstrated with photographs. I would recommend it.

The pictures were a little unclear for hand placement and having to refer to the written text was awkward. Having children used as the models worked on a visual level and understanding the sign approximations. Unfortunately I didn't find it overly helpful for the signs I was unfamiliar with being a visual learner.

I recently met someone who had taught a baby sign language. It seemed like an effective communication method for this very happy one.

Want to give it a try or give this book to a new parent? Inside its pages is an excellent guide to this early communication system that helps kids to communicate before they can speak. Included are sections on signs for mealtime daytime, playtime, family, feelings, the outdoors and more.

The book begins with a most helpful first chapter. It offers guidance on when to start signing and things to consider before beginning. There is also the rationale for using signs with young ones.

This book is amply illustrated with children signing the words. There are additional illustrations to help when learning.

Take a look at this one. I wish that there had been more known about signing when my kids where young. It doesn’t replace speaking to babies but offers such a helpful adjunct.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.
