Baby Fingers: Teaching Your Baby to Sign » (BOARD)

Using sign language, babies everywhere are successfully communicating their needs and desires even before they can talk. They are jump-starting their communications and language skills while deepening parent-child bonds. With this adorable board book of simple signs, created by a leading expert in the field who runs her own school in Manhattan, parents can take advantage of a major new trend—one that’s become so popular it was profiled by The New York Times. On every page, cute babies demonstrate the gestures that mean Mommy, Daddy, love, dog, cat, home, sleep, tired, hungry, music, milk, and banana. And because babies very much like looking at photos of other babies, they’ll have fun even as they learn.

With an opening note that "children who understand sign language tend to have a stronger command of verbal skills," Teaching Your Baby to Sign by Lora Heller invites youngsters to learn 21 everyday words, from "baby" to "mommy" and "daddy" and "love." Each word appears above a photograph of a child demonstrating how to sign the word, along with a one-sentence description of the movement. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
