sign with your baby
Sign with Your Baby is one of those baby sign language books. It’s an incredibly short read, as half the book is just the signs themselves. The big difference between this book and the others is that Sign with Your Baby teaches American Sign Language, while many of the others do not. IMHO, why teach some random made-up signs that are not part of an actual language? Proponents of non-ASL baby signs claim their signs are simpler, but I feel they underestimate babies’ intelligence.
Anyhow. I really liked this book. Simple, to-the-point writing and the basic signs to get you started. They suggest starting signing from 6 months onwards, so I’ll either rent it again later or buy it from Amazon ($11). They also have a book/dvd/reference guide combo for $33.
