Baby signing, which book to get, please?

Hi,
We have been doing some baby signing with signs found on websites, but would like a more extensive list now. I have been looking around for a book to buy, but there are so many to choose from, has anyone got a recommendation, please?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

have you tried deaf community search engine
i did sign language course for free with local community education, might be worth enquiring? the tv prog 'something special' on cbeebies is done with signing
hope this helps you a bit

You can buy a book from www.signandsing.com We have just started going to the lessons, they are very good

I would recmmoned the sing & sign DVD. I never quite took to Sasha (lady who is featured) but the songs are catchy and help you and baby to remember the signs.

I have the sing and sign vocab book, but didn't go to any classes. I quickly found that I run out of signs even though there were 200 or so in the book, so had to make up some of my own.

I'd recommend the sing and sign one too. I went to 10 weeks of classes run by Sasha herself. She's so lovely in real life, but I can see that she comes across as Bonny Langford-esque in the DVD. THe website has online signs now I think.

Our class leader confirms that Sasha is a lovely person.

I do have to say despite the bright smiliness of the DVD that this is what is needed when working with such young babies/toddlers. It's just us mums that have to grin and bear it.

Anyone want to make me an offer for my 2 videos (not DVD's) Sing & Sign and More Sing & Sign?

The Let's Sign range is another alternative.
