What People are Saying:

Toddlers At Play has everything we've been waiting for in a hands on, practical guide to using and teaching sign language at our daycare center. It will be a pleasure promoting this book to the parents of our infants, toddlers and preschoolers who wish to understand and communicate in sign as well as their children do.
Marie Carmichael – Director, Windsor Early Childhood Education Center

Toddlers at Play is the most comprehensive approach I have ever seen for incorporating sign language into the lives of toddlers. It provides not only basic "how-to" information, and wonderful activities, but it also provides the research supporting the real benefits on the use of American Sign Language with toddlers.
