************************************************

BabySignsI haven’t reviewed Sabuda & Reinhart Pop-Ups: Baby Signs personally, but I said yes to hosting a giveaway  because I know many Mom bloggers who have successfully taught baby sign language to their babies, and I’m sure there are many more of you reading this blog who either would like to check out Baby Signs or know someone you could give the book to. And because the book is from Scholastic, a publisher I trust (and from whom I have bought a LOT of books).  Synopsis:

BABY SIGNS is based on American Sign Language and will help encourage the use of non-verbal gestures to communicate. Research has proven that babies who are taught to use signs to express their basic ideas before they can say words are happier because they can communicate with others.

I’m sure there are many official books for teaching baby signs, but we all know how much little ones like to have their own books to hold and look through (and chew on). This adorable book has pages that teach the signs for familiar words like “Play” and “Help”, three words to a page with an illustration on either side and a pop-up in the middle.

Even if you aren’t teaching your baby to sign, illustrations this adorable are sure to be a hit with any young reader!

WIN IT: I’m giving away copies of Baby Signs plus the Grand Prize winner gets a $50 Babies ‘R Us gift card which they could use to purchase more picture books.  Visit the Scholastic website, then leave a comment telling me the name of another book you like by Scholastic. Your entry will not count unless your comment has a Scholastic book title in it, I’ll delete obvious spam.

I’ll choose one winner at random to win the Grand Prize of a copy of Baby Signs Pop-Up Book plus a $50 Babies ‘R Us gift card, and four winners at random to win a copy of Baby Signs Pop-Up Book.  Open to U.S. only.

Enter by August 4th, 2009. Thanks for entering and good luck!

    Baby signing is fascinating to me. I’d love to win this book.

    Checked out Scholastic’s site, and my pick for another great Scholastic book is Natalie Babbitt’s Tuck Everlasting. Awesome story about immortality.

    This is useful advice for me because I will have a son for two months. I will try to help my son to express his wishes and I will certainly learn the signs.

  10. Al Thompson says:

    I think the book Amalee looks really cute,Glad I found it!

  11. This might be kinda useful. And even if the kid will never need it it’s still fun for them to learn.

  12. NancyH says:

    The obvious answer is The Harry Potter series, but my 2.5 g/b twins are a little young for those books. We currently like the I Spy books. This is a fun giveaway.

  13. Karen says:

    my comment disappeared so I am trying again! I was excited to see a picture of you and Lisa on Pioneer Woman’s blog!

  14. Gina says:

    I love the author, David Shannon. I just found a book of his on Scholastic that I hadn’t seen before. It’s “The Rain Came Down.” Very interested in ordering it in the future (once those school flyers start coming home!). Found you through Pioneer Woman’s blog.

  15. Dandy says:

    I am fascinated by baby signing! My brother and his wife used some of this but I’ll have to learn more about it.

    I found you from Pioneer Woman’s site… I hope to hear all about you trip to Blogher!

  16. JulHannah says:

    I love reading to my daughter, she just looks at the pictures now, but never to early to start.

    Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McCloskey

  17. Gina G says:

    “Pat The Bunny!” and “I will Hold You Till You Sleep.” Love the Scholastic website. Had never been to it before. Found you also from PW site. Have fun at blogher!!

    I have a friend who is teaching her child signing. It is so fascinating to watch a young child sign.

    I’d love to win this book. I love teaching my kids sign, well what I know of sign, unfortuneately that isn’t very much. My son is now two, however I’d like for him to be fluent in sign if that is possible for someone that doesn’t know that much. I’d love to win this.

  19. KatieDenise says:

    I’m always fascinated by baby sign. I love the Skippyjon Jones books. So cute!

  20. Thats a really clever design how the tabs pull out to demonstrate the motion!

  21. Juan Batista says:

    My wife is using the techniques with our grandson. To my surprise, it really works. Thanks for the article.

  22. Laurie says:

    The butterfly house by Eve Bunting sounds delightful. I used baby signs with my first daughter but had to return the book I borrowed. Now, three years later I’m ready for a refresher! It definitely made our lives easier as my husband has been deployed three times over the past three years (and just came home two weeks ago again after 17 months gone). I can not say enough about having the ability to communicate with my daughter when she was pre-verbal.

  23. Suzybelle says:

    I would love to teach my new granddaughter to sign. Please pick me!!!

  24. Ameya says:

    Oo, great!! It was actually my husband’s idea to baby-sign, he’s really excited about it & loves to watch youtube videos of baby signing. It’s adorable. I like this book, I also appreciate simple, easy color instructions!

    I also like Snowmen at Night :)

  25. Natalya says:

    Harry Potter, of course!

  26. clark says:

    I am going to be a daddy soon, this got be very useful

  27. Mary says:

    “From Caterpillar to Butterfly” and “How a Seed Grows” both look good for my 4 and 6 year olds.
