excellent buy
This is a wonderful book, withn a few days we were signing. Very easy to understand and learn.

Fabulous Book
This is the best baby signing book in the UK market. The illustrations are very sweet. Every picture describes the sign beautifully and is completely in context. Your baby will learn to "read" the signs with the pictures. What a lovely early introduction to books. It's also fun to share together.

My daughter adored this book still does after several years now. I recommend this book to everyone I teach signing to. It's the simplist, clearest and best value baby signing book available.
