Could have been great

This book was almost exactly what I wanted: (1) the signs are USEFUL, (2) the signs are American Sign Language, (3)the signs are demonstrated by small children or babies, (3) there is a written explanation to fully explain the movement, and (4)it's a sturdy board book just right for the pre-speaking set. My only complaint is that it does not include any pictures to teach your child the word. For example, on the page for teddy bear there is a happy little boy demonstrating the teddy bear sign and the author's explanation of the movement but no pictures of teddy... hmmph. I can understand the omission for some of the conceptual words like "all done" and "more" but no picture of teddy? Perhaps teddy was omitted to keep the layout clean... there are a lot of words (eat, drink, more, all done, thank you, play, book, toy, share, ball, park, bath, water, splash, ducky, all clean, change, bed, tired, teddy bear, and blanket). Basically, if you buy the book add a sticker or personal picture of baby's teddy and this will be a great book to help teach baby sign language. You should also know that the signs will not be perfect since they are being demonstrated by babies and kids. From what I have seen (on the internet, Baby Einstein signing video, and other baby signing book) this is to be expected.
