Books with title My Blue Teddy Bear

Children are able to communicate by signing before they develop the skills necessary for speech. By teaching simple sign language to children from as young as eight months, we can help them to convey their emotions and their needs. When children begin to talk, having sign language to fall back on provides a comforting safety net. Add to the fun of signing by singing well-known nursery rhymes and songs. Even proficient speakers will long enjoy signing to a favourite song or rhyme. Simple and clear signing instructions allow anyone to join in.

The book is very gentle and would serve as an excellent jumping off point for parents and other caring adults who want to approach the topic of what's okay and what isn't and the importance of telling. I read it several times and each time it seemed even better in terms of potential. I really liked the fact that it has so many options with a variety of age levels. I could see this being a great catalyst for discussion even for children who are a little older - using it as a tool of instruction. Very well done!! Loved it!!" - Senator Bill Diamond, Windham, Maine
