New Series of Children's Picture Dictionaries
In January we launched Volume 1 of our new series of picture dictionaries for children. This book has quickly become our most popular product !
Volume 2 is now available with over 300 signs. It, like Volume 1, has signs broken into categories, with clip art for each sign, making it
easy for children to use and understand. This book, however, also includes descriptions of ‘How to Sign’ each sign.
