‘Rock-a-bye Baby’ is exclusively available on our Signed Stories app - download now for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

Nursery rhymes are loved by children and have become firm favourites for generations. They are part of our culture and a great way of introducing creative storytelling to young children. We’ve given this popular nursery rhyme and lullaby a modern animated look, with an amusing twist at the end!

The story is told in British Sign Language (BSL) by Natalie Pollard and Laura McQuillan and in American Sign Language (ASL) by Peter Cook.

• Practise your sign language - and go up against the clock! - playing two fun, interactive games.
• Customise the subtitles for each story by colour, size and font style.
• Personalise your bookshelf with colourful backgrounds and some familiar characters!

We like this book because it’s a family favourite and is very funny. Nursery rhymes are ideal for children learning to sign, building confidence and helping to develop communication skills.

Booktrust says: “Rhymes involve all the family in stories and songs and are a wonderful way to get children excited about books”

‘Rock-a-bye Baby’ is a blue book designed for early years learning - helping children identify and understand physical differences, building confidence and social skills, and using stories to reflect on their own experiences.
