The shirt is COOL! The sign of "marry" in ASL made me think of the joke, which was amusing.
This book is a gem!! Our whole family and family friends found it adorable and loved the pop-up, the stories in both ASL and English! My kids knew some of the stories, but some they didn't know and this was a great opportunity to pass on deaf culture through the ages!!! Personally, I loved the twist on some of these since different people have variations to these deaf jokes! Priceless way to capture these jokes!
This book is CHAMP- very deaf friendly- lots of visuals. Everyone MUST have it on your collective self! It is truly a gem as it is a bilingual book - ASL videos on QR codes and reading English plus visual pop-ups. This book is an excellent way to preserve Deaf jokes to our next Deaf generation. Also, it’s an honor that I get to be a part of this book as one of the ASL signers. It’ll be worth your purchase!
This book has taken me down memory lane remembering these jokes growing up. Worth every penny!
This is an unusual but amazing book for young children, deaf or hearing, to gain an understanding of how deaf people live. In this pop-up book on every page, there is the text, regular and pop-up pictures, and QR codes that opens up to an ASL version of the English text. It also contains humor, especially the popular one about King Kong who makes a "little" mistake. The book fits in homes and schools alike.
My 7 yrs old granddaughter enjoyed the book as she read whole book while vacation in FL.
I cannot tell you enough about how creative the book is to preserve the classic jokes that are the oldest and they are not to vanish into the air. The pop up book is a great reminder of how we should preserve the classic jokes and share the common understanding of our culture. What makes the book very unique is that we have access to both language, a perfect model to bridge both languages and at the same, both languages entertain me as a reader and viewer. Champ!
I purchased the book for a gift but of course I read it first! Really enjoyed the book and how it depicts the deaf culture.
This pop-up book is an excellent instructional material filled with Deaf culture, ASL Literature & Deaf related information for all ages. A must buy!
A Pop Up Book of Deaf Jokes is a must-read! I have never seen a book quite like this. A very unique book allows you to engage with Deaf culture through its pop up pages. Its creativity and uniqueness are something you will not find in any bookstore or anywhere else!
