Free Sign And Sing Along: Itsy Bitsy Spider Ebooks Online
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.

While the pictures are cute, the signs are not well presented. Hand positions are not correct for most of the signs. As someone who works with children with special needs and uses signs all the time, I purchased this book to be a fun addition to my sutdents' library. Once I received the book and saw how few signs were included and how poor the signs were, I would neither use it with children or recommend it to parents
"Get your spider-fingers ready...!" (wiggle, wiggle)That's how storytime begins with this book, which will encourage active participation even in babies who aren't signing.Very cute pictures of babies and helpful captions for parents on the pictures of signs make this a series of books you will enjoy together again and again.The series is slightly inconsistent in that this is the only book to feature a lovely REVIEW of signs used on the back page (maybe they had an extra page because the song is short?). I find the review very helpful, and it gives the baby another sing-along opportunity she always loves!Recommended for ages 1-2 only, as it's a very basic song that older toddlers will probably not sit still for for long.
It's a cute book, and I think our little one will like it, but I'm not too crazy about the illustrations. They are very simplistic and not as detailed as I was hoping. It's mostly just pictures of the child, which is fine and helps with the sign language, but the pictures should also help tell the story, such as pictures of the spider being washed out or a water spout... I'm glad to have it and we will surely use it, but I'm not sure I would order any more from the same company/publisher.
This book and the other sign and sing along were the perfect gift for me deaf nephew. He loves them. The only odd part of the books is that I had to sign upon delivery, which I've never had to do with Prime before or since then. Would purchase more if they had them!
This is one of my son's favorite books. Yes we sing and sign the songs, but the illustrations are so bright and engaging that we ply all kinds of games with the book. We look for all the spiders. Then we identify all the colors. We also talk about the clothes. The list of activities goes on and on. My son likes this series of books so much he'll bring one or two to bed with him several nights each week.
I have purchased MANY MANY Annie Kubler books, and if...IF , I had to pick a favorite, this is the one. It is not only a song almost all of us know, but this also comes with EASY hand signs for children to learn as they learn the song! The illustrations of the little babies and children are precious, and when they show the signs in the book it is REALLY sweet. One of my favorite signs is 'out came the sun'! The sign is adorable! I will continue to purchase her books, and give them as gifts!
Okay, so this is the third book by this author that I'm reviewing...it's a great series, really. This one, my toddler has learned to sign along with me when it's sung (like the "Twinkle Twinkle" one) and she'll request this at Grandma's too (except they sing it in Japanese, and she says "no" and wants the English one). She will LOOK for this book amongst her others, and run over to me with it, and do the signs. In the car, she'll do the signs if I sing it, and she'll request it at all times in the day (along with her "Twinkle Twinkle" song). Great book! (Curiously, it also seems to comfort her a little at the pediatricians....another plus!)
When someone gave me this book before my son was born I didn't think I or he would be much interested in it. But then my son was born with Down syndrome, and I realized signing would be important to help him communicate before he could speak. I like this book because it clearly shows me how to do the signs, so I can sing and sign to my baby at the same time (I don't even bother holding up the pictures for him; he likes watching my hands make the signs). He is only about four months old but is gripped whenever I sing and sign from this book. It's a great asset.
