Illus. in full color with full-color photos. The basics of American Sign Language. "Designed for the very young, this would be an asset if shelved with either regular alphabet books or with sign language books. Each letter appears in both capital and lower case on a single page, along with a photo of Bove showing the sign for the letter, and clearly labeled photos of her signing words or sentences featuring that letter. A good companion to the author's Sesame Street Sign Language Fun."--School Library Journal.

June 18, 2013I had this book through out my childhood (as you realize when you see how it is barely hanging together) and loved working my way through it and learning the signs. I can do the ABC in signs (though a few signs are a bit shaky depending on the day) and recognize a few of the others in the book. You don't feel inundated by the signs (as many other similar books make you feel) and don't realize how much you learn just making your way through it. The pictures are some of the best I've seen, very easy to copy, and Linda Bove does an excellent job of showing how Sign Language is more then just hand movements but what your face and body are doing as well.
A wonderful book for children and adults to learn just a bit about this fascinating and complex language.

description, content, interesting facts and much more about the film
The film is a set of interviews, studio recordings, chronicle frames, dialogues of authors and actors involved in the creation of the famous children's educational show Sesame Street.
New York, 1981. The studio is recording the next episode of Sesame Street.
Spanish edition. Says the doll waiter Grover.
Voiceover. More than 12 million American children under the age of six watch what happens in this room every day, according to research firm Nielsen.
John Stone played a key role in the development of Sesame Street. He was the first producer of the program, and today is the producer of half of all programs. Journalist's question to John Stone: Do you ever stop smiling while working with all these characters? John Stone: I would have quit long ago if I was bored. I love this show very much.
Please welcome the muppet maker, Mr. Jim Henson.
Kermit the Frog on Jim Henson's arm.
He tells the interviewer that he was with Henson on the first issues of Sesame Street. Question to John Stone: Where did the idea for this show come from? Joan Cooney gave it to us.
Joan Cooney: Of course, successful people read.
Moderator: This is Joan Cooney, the woman behind this wonderful program. She created a television that loves children, and does not try to sell them something. And that's the difference.
Sesame Street screensaver. The characters of the program demonstrate the letters of the alphabet to small viewers.
One of the dolls (Oscar) gets out of the trash can. I have to answer you the question that came to me in this tank: why do you love Sesame Street? I don't know about you, but I just hate this show.
Christopher Cerf, composer, poet, writer. Without John Stone, Sesame Street would not have happened. It is thanks to him that the show became so successful. He was a great writer and a great director. He was the soul of this show.
"Telephone" scene performed by Sesame Street characters in Spanish.
Roscoe Orman Gordon. It was John who created the universe of this show, figured out what it would be like, created the concept.
Sonia Manzano Maria. In many programs, children were spoken to as if they were small children. John didn't admit it. He wanted to create a show that could keep their parents on the screen.
John Stone. I've been in television for 25 years in New York. So I saw a lot of different programs and shows. I've seen just a huge amount of terrible children's shows. They sold toys and cereal and stuff like that. I didn't want to see it.
Excerpts from children's programs that advertised various products: tell your father or mother that you want "Tootsie Rolls"!
Keith Stone Lucas: Our father saw the world exclusively in black and white. He divided people into good and bad. He loved the good ones with all his heart, but the bad ones ... There were no halftones.
Polly Stone. My father was a very good man, the time in which he grew up left an indelible mark on him. He had strong convictions and was an active citizen.
John Stone. The Vietnam War was in full swing, our country became very politicized, everyone was shouting at each other, it was impossible to remain neutral.
Keith Stone Lucas. The father carried within himself literally all the world's pain. Most people prefer not to think about it.
John Stone. I decided to leave the business. I decided that I had done everything possible on television.
Polly Stone. The producer called my father. She said that she was going to create a new show for children and wanted to talk to him about it.
John Stone. Joan Cooney called me and said she was recruiting a team for a new children's show. She invited me to participate in this project. I told her that I no longer want to work in television. But she turned out to be a very charming lady. She knows how to convince.
Keith Stone Lucas. I think my father was attracted by her active citizenship. She told him about the kids from the poor neighborhoods who watch all sorts of nonsense on television while their parents are at work. That is what she bribed him with.
Joan Cooney. I worked in New York for a state television channel. We made documentaries. So I was inspired by the civil rights movement, both in its ideas and spirit. But I didn't think about children. Sesame Street was only created by Lloyd Morrisette. It was he who became the father of this program.
Lloyd Morrisett, co-founder. Children's television workshop. I worked as a psychologist. We paid great attention to the stratification that arose in schools. We have noted that there is a lack of equal educational opportunities for Negroes in schools. And it was not racial, but socio-economic stratification. We learned that such children are admitted to school three months later, and therefore by the end of the first grade they are already a year behind their peers from prosperous families.
I wanted to help such children with the help of television, but my colleagues did not support me. They were not interested in television, there were no televisions in their homes, these zombies. I knew Joan was in television. One day she called guests. She and I got to talking, and I offered to teach children through TV.
Joan Cooney. I immediately agreed to this offer. Children from somewhere knew the song from the beer advertisement. They recognized products in stores - washing powder, bread. They saw them in advertisements. It was obvious to me that kids love TV. This means that it is necessary to organize the education of children through television.
Lloyd Morrisett. We engaged Joan in analytical work. She gave a presentation for the Carnegie Endowment on the impact of television on educational processes for children.
Joan Cooney. TV replaces the real world for children. A child between the ages of three and five spends half of his waking hours in front of the TV screen.
More time is spent just sleeping.
John Stone. Joan had a brilliant idea. First, you need to find out what children like to watch on TV. And, secondly, to find out what is useful for them to watch on TV. Then you need to combine these two aspects - that's the finished show. We planned to be on the air 130 hours a year. Based on this, we have developed a budget. Eight million dollars came out. And today our budget is almost 60 million dollars a year. A considerable amount. Most of it is provided by the US Department of Education and federal authorities.
Joan Cooney. Everyone said that a project led by a woman would not work. But I already had the whole plan in my head. And after a while, the New York Times wrote that I would eventually become the most powerful woman on American television.
Sharon Lerner, Curriculum Coordinator. I was then at Columbia University, studying psychology. I learned from my professor that a program for socially disadvantaged children is being prepared on television.
I met Joan Cooney and she hired me to join her team. She wanted the writers and directors to work together with the teachers. This has never happened before. This is how our workshop for children's TV programs came into being. When I joined there, there were about 10 of us. Screenwriters, directors and teachers came up with a program together. An unsurpassed idea!
John Stone. We were asked to develop a concept for a cognitive program for our show. I never wrote this. No one has ever written anything like this. We had public money to carry out the project, but we had no scenery, no name, no format. Nothing at all.
Lloyd Morrisett. John Stone suggested that Jim Henson be consulted.
Joan Cooney. And here we are sitting in a meeting room, a man with long hair and a beard in leather bell-bottoms comes in, sits down somewhere in the corner. I ask: what kind of hippie is this? They say to me: what are you, it's Jim Henson himself! That's how I got to know him. He was incredible.
Lisa Henson. The Muppets started out as a late night program. It would be considered a small-format comedy show by today's standards. She went right after the news release, and songs were covered there. These were programs for adults. When I told my friends as a child that my father was a puppeteer, they thought he performed at birthday parties or performed at church. The children felt sorry for me when they heard about it.
Archival records of 1957 from the Muppets show.
Brian Henson. My father was a quiet person, but at the same time he wanted to appear cool. He wanted The Muppets to be perceived as something stylish and very cool. He made great commercials, even a little weird, with hints of black humor, in the style of beatniks. They wanted to stand out, to do something more than just a puppet show. In fact, the father did not even think of entertaining the children.
Interview with Jim Henson.
Most of our work is very subtle, it always had a hint of black humor.
Our show was mainly for people of student age, and I was offered to do a program for children. And I was inspired by this idea: to combine the methods of advertising and children's shows. We had to sell the alphabet to preschoolers.
John Stone. We've talked to so many college professors, parents, and educators. We tried to take into account all the information we received, so that our show was both interesting and meaningful. It was very interesting, we experimented a lot, created something new. We showed excerpts of the show to children. Next to the screen, we put a monitor that showed slides. When children didn't like what they were shown on the screen, they paid more attention to these slides. We found out their reaction, were interested in what they understood, constantly questioned them.
David Connell, producer. This is where we need to animate the letter "jay" into the fishhook.
Jim Henson. Television has a huge impact on children. Although our industry is not as responsible as the school, church or family.
Trial release of the program. The Muppets discuss what name to give to the program. Maybe "Serious Baby Show"? But these children can neither read nor write. Then maybe we'll call the show "Hi, stupid!"?
John Stone. Our audience was children from poor families. The priority is black children. We could not decide on the entourage of the program for a long time, until I saw one commercial. It was location shooting in Harlem. And then I realized that we need to reflect all this energy of New York. Because for three-year-olds who huddle in cramped closets upstairs, all the action should take place on the streets.
The name Sesame Street comes from Kermit the Frog.
In November 1969, the show appears on TV screens.
The show immediately becomes very popular. Its creators tour the United States, perform live in front of the audience.
The actors and creators of the show talk about how the concept gradually changed, what character traits the Sesame Street characters were endowed with: Big Bird; Oscar; Bert and Ernie; Grover; Count von Sign; Kermit the Frog, Cookie.
