Are you are serious about doing baby sign language the right way? Then my top recommendation is The Gallaudet Children’s Dictionary of American Sign Language. This dictionary features over 1,000 ASL signs, colorfully illustrated with example sentences. This book comes with access to a video dictionary that includes native signers demonstrating each word and signing a sentence. You get double the benefits with this purchase. First, you have a hardcover book to look through at any time. A book that will appeal to your children as they grow. Plus, you get the animation of each sign on the online dictionary. If you come across something you are unsure of interpreting off the printed page you have access to a video. The words and signs are presented in a bright and colorful manner that will make your child want to flip through the pages for hours.

My final recommendation is not a dictionary, per say, but a great tool to start to learning the language. Sign Language: My First 100 Words  is illustrated with brightly colored computer generated pictures that detail each sign. Subjects covered include food, colors, animals, in the classroom, the alphabet and more. A poster of the American Sign Language ABC’s is  included.
