Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Kids gobble cookies, blow bubbles, open and close a box of dress-up items, even sit on the potty to illustrate some of the 31 hand gestures taught throughout this excellent sign language video. Much like a mini video "dictionary," teaching focuses on word recognition alone--not the alphabet nor on full sentence structure--and covers a smart variety of simple verbs and nouns (based on American Sign Language and Signing Exact English). The format is simplistic but highly effective, and keeps the action moving. After the word appears on-screen, an adult carefully signs and pronounces it twice. Then, scenes flip open like book pages or spin like revolving doors to reveal several real-life examples; for instance, "grandfather" fishes with his grandson, eats cereal, and reads a book. More hand gesture repetition, performed by a culturally diverse group of grownups and kids, offers lots of practice time. Probably best used in the home or in a hearing classroom, this visually and audibly appealing 40-minute show comes from the folks who created Parent's Choice award-winning Baby's First Impressions series. --Liane Thomas

2 out of 5 stars Didn't keep my child's attention, January 1, 2005

Reviewer:   J. Berchielli "ajberchielli" (Sacramento, CA) 
  

Compared to another Signing dvd this one did not keep my child's attention. I kinda made me feel weird when the signer adults never even looked forward into the camera. I would not suggest getting this dvd at all....I would suggest another company...Signing Time. --This text refers to the DVD edition

1 out of 5 stars Stinky Robot Signs!, December 22, 2004

Reviewer:   Alyson Brooke Miller "Aly" (Seattle) 
  

This video is definitely NOT my favorite. As the mother of a hearing, nonverbal child for whom Signing has been alife saver, let me tell you that this video is dry, robotic and not terrifically helpful. My child wasn't interested at all. We have other videos like Signing Time that are much better.

My two year old twins LOVE this video... and so do I!! We've all learned so many signs... and we use them in our conversations. It is very educational, and entertaining. I highly recommend this video!!

4 out of 5 stars Talking Hands review, September 8, 2004

Reviewer:   TC Snell (Iowa) 

GWAEA brought this video out for us to watch with our (almost) 3 year old son, who has a speech delay. Our son really enjoys this video and has learned several of the signs! It has helped us to learn basic sign language and has given him a way to communicate with us and others.
