What makes this title different from many other sign-language-enhanced books is that it very clearly explains what Signed English is, and then uses extremely well-done drawings of a Mother Goose figure performing each sign. -- School Library Journal A thoughtful title with plenty of crossover appeal. -- Publishers Weekly This is a delightful book for those teachers and students interested in signing for the deaf or learning more about it. -- Christian Library Journal More than a dozen favorite nursery rhymes are presented in this unique edition of Mother Goose. All of the rhymes are illustrated with full-color paintings accompanied by 389 drawings showing the verses in Signed English. Signed English can help children learn articles, conjunctions, and other parts of speech in addition to grammar. Young readers, both hearing and deaf, will learn the special charm of rhyme while also discovering new vocabulary and new ways to experience English through signing. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
