The author of this book has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter of an 18 month old little girl that was in her care. She has been sentenced to 41 months in prison. Not only was she convicted of manslaughter but also for violations of daycare laws. She was only licensed for 6 kids and had 14 in her care the day Ava died. Not only should you not take advice from this woman on how to run your daycare, but you should ban this book!!!!

Baby Sign Language Review

I'm surprised to see this rated so low. I love this book! I was able to read it in a matter of hours and immediately start teaching my twins to sign. I passed the book on to my MIL who watches the girls while I work and she even read it and implemented signing immediately. I've never known this woman to finish a book in the ten years I've known her, so that's saying a lot right there.
The theory and implementation steps were very clear. The last 1/3 of the book is devoted to large pictures and detailed instructions for how to form each sign. My twins started signing within a few weeks of us starting at 9 months old, and quickly asked for more and more signs. Their gift for gab won out around 15 months old when we stopped teaching them new signs. They could say just about any new word clearly so there didn't seem to be much point in continuing signing. They just turned 2 and are talking in complete sentences. I think baby signs really helped their language development.
It's true that the signs illustrated in this book are not ASL, but who cares? We weren't trying to teach our kids a second language, just get them through that frustrating period when they want to communicate but can't verbalize their thoughts. The signs and techniques in this book worked perfectly for us.

This is a pretty thorough book. I bought two books on baby signing and a set of flash cards and this one book would have been plenty. There were reviews that said complained about the size, but I think it is perfect. The size makes it convenient. Pictures are good. Like it quite a bit.
