Despite the somewhat bland text, the childlike, cheerful art (including a small demo diagram) and familiar themes (e.g., the alphabet, Halloween, and counting) will make this series welcome in classrooms looking to explore American Sign Language. Reading list. Glos. Review covers these Story Time with Signs & Rhymes titles: A to Z Sign with Me: Sign Language for the Alphabet, Four Seasons! Five Senses! Sign Language for the Seasons and the Senses, Hip, Hip, Hooray! It's Family Day!: Sign Language for the Senses, and One Trick for One Treat: Sign Language for Numbers.

(3) PS Illustrated by Stephanie Bauer. "Elephant young, / elephant old. / Polar bear hot, / polar bear cold." Blackstone's simple rhymes are illustrated with Bauer's double-page spreads showing animals in their natural habitats. The illustrations feature chunky geometric shapes and decorative borders. The creators of Alligator Alphabet and Counting Cockatoos have taken a basic concept and tastefully dressed it up.

(4) K-3 Looking Glass Library: Story Time with Signs and Rhymes series. Illustrated by Stephanie Bauer. Each book focuses on a theme and uses a singsongy rhyming verse that repeats a featured word several times per spread. Though the childlike, cheerful art offers only a rough demonstration of the featured signs, a more detailed description is included in the back matter.
