At school En la escuela

K-Gr 2-These titles offer good, basic introductions to American Sign Language with accompanying text in both English and Spanish. Each volume takes on a specific concept or theme and is illustrated with simple line drawings and full-color photographs. The children used as models are students at Chicago's Alexander Graham Bell Elementary School. On each page, a line drawing demonstrates how to make the sign along with a text-based description of the movements (in most, but not all instances). The layout of the books is attractive and useful; the American Sign Language alphabet is appended. (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
