About this title

From the Inside Flap

Illus. in full color with full-color photos. The basics of American Sign Language. "Designed for the very young, this would be an asset if shelved with either regular alphabet books or with sign language books. Each letter appears in both capital and lower case on a single page, along with a photo of Bove showing the sign for the letter, and clearly labeled photos of her signing words or sentences featuring that letter. A good companion to the author's Sesame Street Sign Language Fun."--School Library Journal.

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 3 Designed for the very young, this book would be an asset if shelved with either regular alphabet books or with sign language books. Each letter of the alphabet appears in both capital and lower case on a single page, along with a color photo of Bove showing the sign for the letter and clearly labeled photos of her signing words that begin with that letter or a sentence featuring words that begin with the letter. A colorful pastel drawing of Muppet characters dramatizing the words is also included. A good companion to the author's Sesame Street Sign Language Fun (Random House, 1980) which features beginning vocabulary in sign language and Handtalk (Four Winds, 1974; o.p.) by Remy and Mary Beth Charlip.
