I got this from the library along with some other baby signing books. This one had, by far, the best selection of signs to teach your baby, at least to start. I wanted everyday words, not 50 different types of animals or fruit and veggies that my daughter was only eating in puree form at the time. I can see where those things would be fun later on, but to start with I wanted some basics which some of the other books seemed to lack.

I loved this book! I thought it was a great introduction to signing with your baby. It covers how and why you should do it and includes pretty detailed illustrations and descriptions for the most common signs a parent would want to teach their child.

The illustrations for hand movements were very clear and easy to follow. I used this book when I worked in Special Education so I could use basic signs to communicate with deaf students. I like the 'Dummies' books because they aren't pushy or confrontational. I also used this book to teach my baby sign language. We did sign religiously until he turned ten months. He never caught on so I gave up. Yes, I'm lazy, and so's my kid so we're just doomed either way.
I read this book to learn baby sign language for the baby and I liked this book becuse it has lots of pictures and easy for the siblings to pick up the sign language also.
