Loved this DVD setNov 21, 2008
By MaeB I purchased this DVD set based on reviews given by an ASL interpreter. I have not been disappointed! These DVDs keep the interest of my two young children without sacrificing intellect for the adults. We are able to sit down as a family and learn together. Avery is a wonderful story teller who's clear passion for animals is infectious. I would recommend this product for any family looking to learn ASL.

Not what I hoped forMar 29, 2010
By C. Jackson I can see where this DVD would be great for those who are already proficient in ASL. However, it is NOT a DVD for those hoping to learn ASL. I was extremely dissapointed when after learning a few signs that a beginner probably would not use in a real situation (who asks about the weather when they cannot understand a related reply?) the DVD launches into a trip to the zoo, and while it gives you interesting facts verbally and captioned, it does not teach you a thing in ASL because it is WAY too fast. Wasted my money on this one!
DisappointingMay 12, 2011

I was very disappointed in these videos. I am learning sign language for my son. This video spends WAY too much time on "field trips" where no one is signing, you are simply watching video footage of animals.

not what i was looking forDec 11, 2009
By MJ

I was very disappointed in the DVD. The DVD was more of a sight/sign language trip to the zoo for deaf children. It had very little instruction on actually learning sign language for hearing folks.

For Kids onlyOct 13, 2008
By Marcel Johnson-brooks This DVD is better for children and not adults....it seemed to focus more on the zoo and animals from the Zoo. In actuality it may be a little to fast for kids, I ended up giving my DVD to a woman who had a 2year old. Also there is a song on the DVD, I was under the impression it was a song I could learn....Ha Ha Ha the joke was on me.
