This book offers a selection of American Sign Language signs that are easy for you and your baby to learn together and are especially suited to the interests of young children. Signing is a beautifully tactile way for babies to learn about their world. It acknowledges a baby's natural abilities and provides a powerful tool for self-expression. And a growing number of researchers agree that not only deaf children but also hearing children can benefit from early exposure to sign language, often learning basic signs as early as nine months old, before they learn spoken words. Use the books in this series to learn simple ASL signs at reading time. Look for the companion book More Baby's First Signs Item#368115. Also have fun signing when you sing, play, read, and explore the world with your baby. By Kim Votry and Curt Waller
