Long before they're able to talk, babies have a whole lot to say! Widen their world with this delightful modern classic—a must-have for growing families and a perfect baby shower or new-baby gift. With this adorable board book of essential signs, babies and toddlers can easily learn how to communicate their needs, wants, and feelings and even make basic observations with a simple gesture. Studies show that babies who use sign language feel less frustrated, throw fewer tantrums, and often learn to talk more easily. Just point to a sign in the book, say the word while making the sign, and the baby will soon be signing. Communicating a wet diaper or a hungry belly, asking for help or saying "all done" becomes as easy as waving hello or good-bye. And these are just a few of the thirteen signs inside this small and adorably illustrated board book, perfect for little hands and minds to grasp.

"Illustrations of American Sign Language, along with labeled photos, introduce children to words and phrases useful for signing at school"--Provided by publisher.
