Beszel a kez
by Tamas Vincze
Age Range: Under_5
Beszél a kéz was included in the ‘Reading the Way’: Inclusive Books from Around the World Research (2015). The book is not available in English but is referred to as Talking Hands throughout the RtW Research. (Full report in the Education Zone of this website)
Talking Hands is really a picture book for toddlers and young children with integrated signs. A simple, structured book with an illustrated animal on every page, accompanied by its name (in Hungarian) and the associated sign (also Hungarian). The watercolour illustrations are bright and bold with one-word text to describe the animal, while the opposite page shows signs in pictures and with hands.
The overall response from the OIW research was positive. It was agreed that sign language dictionaries tend to be quite ’dry’ and that there would be a definite market for books such as this which were more attractive and imaginative.
