King Midas, book - With Selected Sentences in American Sign Language

Now the tale of King Midas and his golden touch is charmingly retold with full-color illustrations and key sentences shown in American Sign Language (ASL). The line drawings of the storyteller (who appears in both the book and videotape) recreate 44 key sentences in ASL, making the new King Midas ideal for helping both hearing and deaf children to learn better reading skills. The King Midas videotape shows the entire classic story performed in ASL by the storyteller accompanied by a voice-over, including practice sentences from the book. A perfect complement to the book, the videotape further encourages the development of language skills while also providing an entertaining means to experience the full beauty and elegance of ASL and Deaf culture.
