Good Manners (Lets Learn American Sign Language) by Raymie Davis

This engaging board book offers a wonderful introduction to basic American Sign Language while teaching essential social skills for toddlers. Young children will discover how to sign polite phrases like "please," "thank you," and "you're welcome" through clear, step-by-step photographs of children demonstrating each gesture. The visual guide to ASL signs pairs perfectly with the book's core message about showing respect, making early manners instruction interactive and meaningful. This dual-focus approach transforms a simple lesson on polite behavior into a hands-on language experience.

What makes this resource particularly valuable is how it normalizes ASL as a form of everyday communication while reinforcing positive social behavior. The combination of real children's photographs with instructional illustrations provides multiple visual cues that support different learning styles. Families looking to introduce basic sign language or reinforce polite behavior will find this book especially useful, as will children who benefit from visual learning methods. By connecting respectful actions with tangible signs, this book creates a foundation for both language development and social awareness in the earliest years.
