"Finally, songs that are really perfect to sign and sing to " -- Barbara Granoff, "Sign2Me" presenter andco-creator of the award-winning Sign-A-Lot DVD series Signing along with songs is one of the most effective things you can do to encourage your baby to try new signs. It's a fun way to introduce new concepts, and music is a great memory aid for language learning If your baby could talk, he or she would tell you that singing and signing go "hand in hand" This activity guide and CD program brings you 14 original and traditional signing songs, perfect for the littlest signers, with clear illustrations. Music by award-winning singer/songwriter Susan Z takes you and your little one on a magical journey to a land of storytime, teddy bears, tea parties, and fun-filled daily routines.
My (almost) two year old daughter loves this CD! She can't get enough of The Potty Song or I Rest My Head and asks for this disc whenever we are in the car. Susan has such a pleasant voice and the songs are really catchy. Definitely a must have!
So much fun! I love it!

I bought this for my 2 year old daughter as she loves songs with moves and we taught her signing when she was smaller and she loves it! Plus the songs are really easy to learn so now we can do them wherever even if we don't have the CD with us. And the pictures show you really clearly how to make the signs. It's a lot of fun and I highly recommend it! The only thing I would change if I could is to make it spiral bound so it's easier to keep the pages open as you're trying to do the signs.
Got a Baby? Get this CD!

This CD is fabulous with its one fault being that there isn't enough of it!! The songs are catchy and fun and the instruction book with the accompanying signs is clear and very easy to understand. I love the update to the classic Itsy Bitsy Spider and the original songs by Susan Z always make my baby smile! The signs will help us to communicate better long before she can talk. We've seen it work for other parents to prevent tantrums because you can more easily meet the childs needs...or at least understand what they are asking for!
Great value, long-term use

We bought this set when my daughter turned 1 and used a lot of sign language. The music was a perfect way to teach new signs, and use the ones she knew in a fun way. The fact that we love the music and still listen to the CD very often (my daughter is now 3!) is an extra bonus. I wasn't able to find other combination workbooks/song sets that approach teaching signs in such an effective way. The songs really deal with day-to-day subjects and have become part of many daily routines. My sister just had a baby and I'm sending her a set.
Great Music & Learning, not just for kids

Susan's ability to play acoustic and teach at the same time is a gift. Her voice is amazing in this format too - check out her other "adult" CDs and it is obvious she is the real thing. So much talent and love is in her music and performances. I highly recommend Songs for Little Hands and any other music by Susan Z you can get your hands on.
