Baby Sing and Sign R: Communicate Early with Your Baby: Learning Signs the Fun Way Through Music and Play [With CD]

This book and the music CD is a staple at our house. My daughter has loved all the music since she was under 1, and now she is 2 and still asks to listen to it. My daughter started signing at 7 months and knew more than 25 signs at a year old.... and I owe it all to the Sing and Sign program. It is fantastic! You can't go wrong with this book... especially since it also has a great music CD to listen to anytime.

I am a music therapist in Kansas City and also a mom to a 3 year old and 1 year old. This book gets as much use in the classroom as it does at home! I teach special needs children ages 3-12 and I have used this book and the accompanying recording in all my classes. Several teachers have purchased the book themselves! My own children love the songs and and the signs. I get frequent requests at school and at home for the Baby Sing and Sign!

This book and cd are wonderful! The cd has so many good songs. Not only is the music fun, but the book has great age-appropriate language activites to go along with the songs. (As a former teacher, I loved that reinforcement!) Our daughter especially liked the homemade picture books we made to reinforce the signs. It was so awesome to be able to communicate with our daughter before she could talk. She is almost three now and even though we don't need to sign anymore, she'll start signing when she hears the songs. I highly recommend this book and cdl!

I was lucky enough to take this author's class with my son in KC. After a few months of signing to him, he began signing nonstop around age 11 months. It helped immensely to reduce his frustration (and mine!) in communicating his needs and wants. He learned new signs quickly and his vocabulary/recognition of new objects grew immensely in the months to follow. Now that he is 2, his verbal skills are highly advanced (he speaks very clearly and can compose complex sentences), and I firmly believe this is due to the strong language base he started with the signing programs. The songs and games in this book are still some of his favorites! Glad to see this great resource is available to parents everywhere! Thanks Anne!

This book helped me to be a better mother and a calmer mother. Learning how to communicate with our baby before she can talk was such a blessing to our whole family. I loved that! This will be my number one pick for every baby shower or new baby gift. I got one for my parents so they can communicate as well.
