Title: Not something I'd want my students to use!
Product review: Yesterday, one of my students brought to class a copy of this book. I teach Sign, and about Deaf culture. I, myself, am hard-of-hearing. Just for starters, on the first page, we looked at an alphabet full of errors! It was as though someone who didn't know the fingerspelling alphabet had played "cut and paste." Hand-shape letters were not near the same designated printed letter. And one hand-shape, looking like no letter in particular, drawn without a thumb, was included in the mix. Looking further through the book, drawings were expressionless. It was difficult to recognize motion or direction in the drawn signs. ...And I know what the signs should look like! Looking for background on the authors, I read that one is an interpreter. Yikes! :-(
