    My elementary sign language club enjoyed this short video. They could pick up on a few signs for their second lesson, and see how to sign 1-5. That introduced our lesson in numbers and telling time.

    Excellent resource for our 1st grade deaf student mainstreamed in the classroom! Intend to use this for the whole class as well at a later time to expose them to ASL.

    This series is wonderfully entertaining and well done. The signing is very clear and matches the text and illustrations. The "extras" like vocabulary practice and quiz make it even better. The students loved it-even the older students.

    Wonderfully done, Manny delivered the story in a way my child truly appreciates and enjoy. We've watched this over and over and will continue to be my child's' favorite. Thank you!
