Reviews
This kid-friendly guide to American Sign Language (ASL) provides an enjoyable and accessible introduction to the language’s fundamentals. It begins with succinct instructions, an alphabet chart that includes a note about finger spelling being acceptable when a sign is not known, and proceeds through a range of everyday words and signs (feelings, colors, shapes, and so forth). Each double-page spread contains six to eight examples of words for each category, clear visual and textual information to illustrate the meaning of the words, and how to sign or finger spell them. Facial expressions and body language are key in ASL, and the cute cartoon figures of children demonstrating the signs all face the reader directly and depict the appropriate actions. Thus, readers will learn that the sign for “broken” includes moving “fists up and away from each other” while showing dismay on one’s face. At more than 100 pages, this is approachable for young readers but still significant enough to be of help to anyone. Grades 3-6. --Amina Chaudhri
