How to Sign with Babies with Terry the Monkey: British Sign Language for children
£6.60
Learn how to sign with your baby with the latest title in the popular Terry the Monkey series of sign language books for children. Signs in this book include everything your baby will need in order to communicate their needs and share their observations of the world around them. As Joe Jacobs explains, ‘Most babies say their first words at around 12 months’ old, but babies are able to sign from as young as 7 months’ old. The muscles required for speech, in the throat and larynx, take longer to develop than the hand and arm muscles needed to sign. My own children began signing at around 8 months’ old. Signing can significantly reduce frustration and gives you an insight into your baby’s thoughts months before they can speak.’This book contains all the signs you will need to teach your baby how to communicate their needs and observations, including milk, mummy, daddy, more, hug, I love you, park, swings, toys, funny, play, brother, sister, wash hands, please, sleep, bed, bath, coat, hat and many more. The Terry the Monkey books have featured in Little London magazine and Familes, the magazine of the National Deaf Children’s Society, as well as limpingchicken.com, the world’s most popular deaf blog. Joe’s work has been praised by former children’s laureate Julia Donaldson, BBC’s Steve Backshall and Oscar winner and deafness awareness campaigner Rachel Shenton. This book contains tips on signing and a list of the benefits of signing with babies. A great gift for any new parent.

I’ve bought this after searching around for the right book for a while. I wanted a book that covered the basic keywords that come up in day to day life. This book certainly does that. Terry is a bit of a creepy looking character, but the illustrations are aimed at an adult learning signs rather than a baby. Overall I’m pleased with the purchase.
