A very affordably priced hardcover picturebook, Help Me Learn Counting 1-10 in American Sign Language is a counting book with a twist - it shows children how to make the American Sign Language handsign for each number from one to ten. Photographs show a woman demonstrating each number's handsign, while the opposite page features a simple color illustration of a mnemonic for the number. For example, the handsign for "five" resembles a butterfly, so the accompanying illustration shows five blue butterflies flying about the numeral 5. The final page gives a visual summary of how to sign the alphabet in American Sign Language. An excellent counting book for young people learning American Sign Language for their own use or to better communicate with deaf friends and relatives.
