Book Description
This book teaches hearing parents how to use simple sign language gestures to communicate with their hearing infants before their infants can speak. Joseph Garcia uses anecdotes, practical guidelines and humor to explain the benefits and method for taking advantage of this unique form of early communication. He will help you recognize when your child is receptive to learning. He recommends which signs to teach first and shares ideas for games that can be fun and useful when introducing new signs. The book is also a useful reference with 145 clearly illustrated signs, enabling you to choose and teach the signs that will be most beneficial to you and your child. This book is also included in a separate "package" edition called the SIGN with your BABY Complete Learning Kit - which is comprised of the book, 60 minute training video and quick reference guide.

• Simple To Follow 10 February, 2008
I took four semesters of ASL in college (had forgotten most of it by the time I had my first child, unfortunately) and had learned that teaching sign language to your baby is an excellent tool for language development and reducing frustration caused through the inability to communicate. I loved how short and to the point this book was and found that the basic necessary information was included. My daughter picked up most signs very quickly at 9 months and I wished I had started teaching her sooner. There were a few signs missing from the glossary I would have liked to have seen, (juice, for example) but other than that I was very satisfied.

• Love It! 22 September, 2007
I don't have much to say about this book except I love how it is all broken down and really easy to use. My baby is 4 months right now and I didn't know how long it would take me to learn the signs so I started reading it already. My baby still has a couple months before he can start picking up on signs but I will definatly be prepared because the book was so easy to read and refer back to. I hope that if you are interested in teaching your baby signs that you choose this book.

• Great Book 12 October, 2007
This book is great for teaching your child sign language. The beginning of the book goes through the benefits of teaching sign language to children before learning to talk, then takes you through how and when you should start. It was very informative on the subject. The end of the book goes through the different signs, showing the main signs like eat, bottle, drink, mommy, daddy, etc., but it also includes fun signs like rabbit, frog, and elephant. If you want to continue reading, I'll just list all of the signs included:

• A Good Introduction 27 November, 2007
This is a fairly good introduction to the world of baby sign language. If you want to know what the benefits are, what to start with and when to start this book is for you. However I would say that if you actually want to learn HOW to sign, the dvd version is much better.

• Joseph Garcia's Sign With Your Baby 21 December, 2007
Since my grandson and daughter used this kit 2 1/2 years ago I have seen some tremendous language skills build.
I now give this as my standard gift for a new baby.
