This is an excellent app! It's great for every level of ASL user. I'm enjoying it and my 6 year old loves it and has learned many new vocabulary words from this charming book. Please make more.

Things that could be improved: the facial expressions of the girl are difficult to read and do not match the facial expressions of the signer telling the story. The mask on the face of the girl is ridiculous. The signer blocks the view of the girl or other characters quite often. The coloring while nicely done is too pastel. The signing, while well done, is much higher than your typical young deaf child with hearing parents who barely sign. Suggestions: it would be helpful to have a simplified signing option for young children who are deaf and have hearing parents. This way the child could start with the simplified signing. I know from experience young children with limited signing skills will not engage as readily with this type of a signer and book. It's better for them to see it acted out by signers. I do applaud the use of the app medium to creat signing books in ASL and English. Your price is much too high for an app. I, too, develop apps for children and I have learned the price needs to stay below $3 if you really want parents and teachers to buy the app. Good luck with these apps. It is a good idea.

I'm a Deaf mother of a deaf child and I was told about this app at a family event at a deaf institute so I thought I would check it out since there are not that many app that have ASL along with a book. Te only thing I am disappointed with was that I paid over $6 for one story... I would like to see 5 or 10 stories in ASL to get the bang for my bucks. Overall, my child and I enjoyed the story and would like to see more.

I really love this video! My 9 year old daughter also loves it! It is really helping her with her signs, now she is more excited about learning signs and being able to communicate more with her Deaf grandparents, which makes me very happy!!! I wish there were more stories! Especially to keep her interest, are there plans for updates with more stories? The signing is so beautiful and the woman signing has such a friendly and inviting face. Very happy to see a deaf woman of color being the language model for so many!! Keep up the good work!!!! (I got another ASL stories app as well, and I must say, the baobab one is much more easy on the eyes, my daughter is more engaged with this one!)

This is a wonderful ASL story by a gifted story-teller! I like the "Learn" signed vocabulary option; it shows the signs used in the story. Folks newer to sign will want to remember that these signs are contextual and may not work in all scenarios. I can't wait for more from Gallaudet!

Finally! A book that my kids can enjoy watching signing and reading English. The signing is very wonderful to watch. I love the design of the book. It makes it easier for my kids to follow the story in sign and English. I also love how many vocabulary words in the dictionary. Forget adding a separate sign dictionary app, this app does the trick and makes it more easier to find the words and it applies to the story. I like this better than "signed stories" which has old fat creepy guys signing it. The woman in this story is fantastic! Please add more stories!! ***I strongly suggest that there should be music in the background like Dr. Seuss books or Disney books. There should also be an option for auto play when reading the book. It's hard for my kids to turn the pages. They enjoy the auto reading being 3 and 1 years old. ***
