The Joy of Signing Puzzle books (One and Two) are great to use as a fun learning tool, to check your memorization skills and simply to have a good time. I definitely recommend them for teachers/students in grade school/middle school that have already learned, or use ASL regularly in communication. I think students would enjoy these books that are specifically geared toward their interests. For those who are still learning, these are probably best for teen or adult learners. These books are fun and not too difficult, though not really meant for little kids. There are crosswords, matching games, picture games, etc. and you can work on a puzzle that is somewhat challenging, working your way up to very challenging. My only complaint is that they could have had just a little more instruction for those who are very new to signing, or for kids, and it would be fun for a wider audience. This is the only reason I gave it four stars. Using both of these books has been an interesting way to boost my ASL knowledge and help me find new ways to test those skills besides simple memorization. I definitely recommend them once you have a little understanding of ASL.

I gave this to my mother in law as a supplement to the first puzzle book. She loved it!
A decent workbook.

"The Joy of Signing Puzzle Book 2" can be frustrating at times, but in the end, it's a good way to see if you're grasping what you're learning from "The Joy of Signing: The Illustrated Guide for Mastering Sign Language and the Manual Alphabet." My complaints are for the word searches: the letters are in finger-signs and since they're on the small side, some of the letters look alike, like A's, E's, and O's. Also, since some signs have multiple meanings, you have to look up each word, per sign, in the search, which gets very tiring. Other than that, it's a good workbook. I recommend.
