You
know the stories well.....you had them read to you dozens of times as a
child, your parent’s voice bringing the characters to life. But what
are those timeless tales like when performed by a Deaf cast signing ASL?
Amazing, fun and totally engaging for everyone, thanks to
DawnSignPress, a company well-known for quality children's ASL products, and the launch of their new award-winning Once Upon a Sign DVDs now available to own.
Initial three titles in launch are "The Magic Mirror in American Sign Language" - Winner of Parents' Choice Approval, "The New Goldilocks and the Three Bears in American Sign Language" and "The New Little Red Riding Hood in American Sign Language."
All are endorsed by KIDS FIRST! and have received the Dove Family
Foundation Seal of Approval.
Once Upon a Sign re-creates classic children’s stories with clever modern themes performed by an all-deaf cast entirely in ASL with voice-over and English subtitles. Each DVD also features “Fun Signs,” a recap of key signs from the story.

In "Once Upon a Sign: The Magic Mirror"
young Alice Cogswell wants to enter the talent show but she's unsure of
herself. After an audition that doesn't go her way, she gets some magic
help. But will this magic help get her to the talent show and help her
ASL poetry sparkle?
"Once Upon a Sign: The New Little Red Riding Hood" is set in New York City and takes you on an exciting trip through Central Park. Little Wolf will be up to his old tricks, but will Little Red fall for it, or will the Park Ranger save the day? And how will Grandma react to all the excitement going on?
In "Once Upon a Sign: The New Goldilocks and the Three Bears,"
overlooking the scenic California coast a quaint home sits alone. This
is the home of the Three Bears, but today, something will change. An
unexpected golden-haired visitor awaits them when they return home after
a nice, long walk on the beach.
Our Thoughts:
We received The Magic Mirror DVD to watch and review. This DVD would be perfect for teaching your young ones and your whole family basic signing with a familiar storyline that we all know along with a few new twists. Rose and I found it very easy to follow along while practicing our signs with our hands. I am actually looking forward to picking up another DVD so further expand our basic ASL knowledge.

My favorite fairy tale is Alice in Wonderland! My left arm is a whole sleeve tattoo of Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland. This fairy tale hits close to home for me. I am a survivor of childhood abuse and trauma and when I was young I used to "cope" by drifting away in my own mind to a fantasy land just like Alice in Wonderland. It saved me from having to deal with more mental turmoil than I did and that story will always hold a very special place in my heart forever!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fairytale is CINDERELLA. I absolutely love Cinderella. She has the most perfect romance there is and the story behind it is how my life has kinda been but without the other sisters. I haven't had all that many boyfriends and I am hoping and praying that my fairy tale CINDERELLA is going to come and sweep me off my feet one day. (They better hurry, I am getting ready to turn 42 and I hope and pray just one day, I will find my TRUE LOVE!)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fairy tale is the Princess & the Pea!
