  <default_description>This book teaches hearing parents how to use simple sign language gestures to communicate with their hearing infants before their infants can speak. Joseph Garcia uses anecdotes, practical guidelines and humor to explain the benefits and method for taking advantage of this unique form of early communication. He will help you recognize when your child is receptive to learning. He recommends which signs to teach first and shares ideas for games that can be fun and useful when introducing new signs. The book is also a useful reference with 145 clearly illustrated signs, enabling you to choose and teach the signs that will be most beneficial to you and your child. This book is also included in a separate &quot;package&quot; edition called the SIGN with your BABY Complete Learning Kit - which is comprised of the book, 60 minute training video and quick reference guide.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I've been reading this for a couple months.  Have started using signs with Indy.  So far the only one he uses is &quot;more.&quot;  I hope he will continue and expand his vocabulary and that we'll communicate better seeing as he doesn't say ANYTHING yet.<br/><br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a very quick book to read through with like 1/2 of the book being pictures of the signs themselves! Highly recommend this book if you are interesting in signing with your child, babies, grandkids, etc. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was okay. I'm betting there are better ones out there. The intro is pretty hokey and not very useful and the dictionary is so-so in terms of helpfulness and comprehensiveness. ]]></body>
