Such a charming and sweet book in a perfect rainy day and curl up kind of way. Each chapter has an amusing episode and the pages fly past. I'm a sucker for small town irish stories, and this is my new favorite.

Since American Sign Language is a visual language it's one of those things you kind of have to really see to appreciate, and this book is probably best used in a class setting. That said it is one of the best, and really helps in a natural way to get a feel for the grammar and flow of this beautiful language. I would definitly reccomed it.

This is one of my favorite books from childhood. I remember laughing and laughing, and then wanting a peguin for a pet. This is a classic that every child should have in thier library.
