We received this book to give an honest review.

I am so glad that this book was made as I learned more words to work with my daughter who is 5. I started showing her sign language when she was 6 months but I didn't know a lot of different words but "play, nice, drink and more." So to have a book that has not only the words but pictures, how and when to use the signs make it so much more easier. It is easy to read and the child or children you are teaching can actually see the picture of another child doing the sign. I would highly recommend this and when I am subbing at the school I am going to teach the younger kids some signs. I know for sure this is one book I wish I had when both of my kids were babies as I could have taught them so much more than just the few words I remembered.
