COPY ISBN
Baby-Toddler—"When baby wants food, baby signs EAT." Simple text is complemented by an illustration of a baby and a pull tab that creatively moves the baby's hand to her mouth, demonstrating the motion needed to sign "eat." The book goes on to teach children how to sign "milk," "more," "all done," "help," "thank you," "bath," and "bed." A diverse group of cartoon toddlers display the relatively easy-to-follow hand motions. If a child or parent needs additional assistance mastering the sign, the back of the board book contains step-by-step instructions for each sign.
VERDICT A general purchase for board book collections and a useful selection for baby/toddler programs to help model communication through sign language.
