For the sign obsessed toddler in your life

If you're here it's probably because you have a toddler who's gone sign crazy. Be comforted in knowing you aren't the only one. Okay to the point: this book has lots of pictures of signs. They are pretty good pictures with the focus on the sign without a lot of distractions. If your kids is crazy about signs he/she will love this book. Buy it and get a few minutes of peace while they excitedly exclaim about Stop signs. Now if you are just here to find a book to teach your kids about signs... Well then this is okay. There's not a lot of context but if you're willing to use the pictures and the small amount of text to help you do the explaining it will do fine. If you are looking for a book to use images in context (say a picture of a car stopping to let people cross at a cross walk sign) then this isn't your book.

Great book for car rides and vehicle lovers

I bought this book for my 3 year old son who is crazy for road signs. This was one of the only books I could find on the topic and with real pictures. I love the DK books because of their simplicity and use of real photographs. They are great learning tools. Children can enjoy looking at the pictures all by themselves. Great resource for your road traveler or car enthusiast.

Perfect for your backseat driver

My 5-year-old LOVES street signs. He draws them, reads them and even has little toy signs for his cars and trains. This book is the perfect companion to his collection. The pictures are really nice and for a child beginning to read, it's a great little book.

Literacy on the road

This book was great for our son, who LOVES looking at signs on the road when we're driving around.

The Perfect Book for Younger Sign Lovers

My son is three and a half and is in love with this book. After reviewing the signs neatly organized by category in this book, he has been thrilled to locate the same signs out on the road. It has made driving to school and on errands a very educational experience. He ought to pass his own driver's test with flying colors in 13 years!
