In Sign-A-Lot: The Big Surprise, the See Me Sign Kids point out practical uses of sign language beyond the most common one of communicating with the hearing-impaired, including giving signals on the ball field, saying “I love you” to a parent through the bus window, and “talking” in situations that require quiet. The live-action kids and adult friend Lee Sher (one of the show's creators) are joined by computer-animated Lulu Lefty and Ronnie Righty for song-and-skit signing adventures featuring some 80 signs as they picnic, exercise, discuss feelings, and form a sign-language band. A professional looking production, with bonus chapters on sign language vocabulary and the benefits of signing, this is recommended. Aud: K, E, P. (R. Reagan)
