“A simple, clear introduction to key ASL vocab for
nonhearing and hearing alike.”
~Booklist, May, 2012
Oregon Book Awards Finalist
“Children who are interested in learning sign language will find the Story Time with Signs & Rhymes series an intriguing place to start.”
~Booklist, October, 2009
“I’ve just discovered a wonderful new sign language series by Dawn Babb Prochovnic that features basic signs woven into engaging stories that are both entertaining and educational. The books feature themes appropriate to a young child’s developmental level . . . and the illustrations are absolutely adorable! I can’t wait to share the books with my Child Development Class--and my grandchildren!”
~Penny Warner, M.A. Special Education, Deafness
Author of FUN WITH SIGN, LEARN TO SIGN THE FUN WAY, and BABY’S FAVORITE RHYMES TO SIGN
“The text is lively, and Bauer’s colorful illustrations crackle with cartoony energy. . . . The signs themselves are well chosen for the target audience, and the structure of the stories provides a great way to introduce and reinforce basic ASL vocabulary for hearing children.”
~School Library Journal, January 2010
“All eight titles in the Story Time with Signs & Rhymes series by author Dawn Babb Prochovnic and illustrator Stephanie Bauer are fun and educational with inviting illustrations. The illustrations are in bright, comforting colors that make the objects pop out so children can easily identify what is going on in each scene--important for comprehension. . . . [The books] include rhymes and repetition that foster vocabulary development and phonological awareness, provide multiple opportunities to practice featured ASL signs, and, most importantly, make these stories fun for young children.”
~Katie Anderson, Library Youth Services Consultant
“Bring a new, dynamic finger-play experience to your story time! Story Time with Signs & Rhymes offers a variety of rhythmic, playful stories for read-aloud fun. American Sign Language (ASL) signs are incorporated into the book design, inviting children to sign along with the story. The result is a literacy-based, finger-play experience sure to engage students and teach signing!”
