Sign language book suggestions?

I am interested in teaching LO sign language - and I got a bunch of DVDs for my work baby shower (Signing times) - which are awesome but I don't want to watch them w/ him until he is older. I noticed that when I read him a book these days, he is totally fascinated and actually has the attention span to look at me and the pictures and is very interested (which is so cool!) I also noticed that when I make hand gestures, he REALLY loves it. I've made a few signs (milk, for example) while reading If you give a mouse a cookie to him this afternoon and he loved it! I am wondering if there is a book out there that has cues for parents/kids to sign along w/ the words? Something I can read and sign to him at the same time w/ having a limited sign language vocabulary would be awesome :)

    I used to sign Green Eggs and Ham to my students, but I it was hard to do at first.  Dr. Seuss is good because the words are repeated often when the little one get older.

    I don't know ASL so I need something with the signs AND the words, if that makes any sense. I'm sure there are books like this out there rt?

    It was really hard to find some for my kiddos.  When all else fails Amazon.  I'll look around too.

    i'm planning on only teaching her a few words so i'm not doing any books. they really only need to know things like, please and thankyou, milk, hungry, more and tired. i used to work at a daycare and one little girl knew sign language and the rest of the kids picked it up in just a few days.

    I haven't done it while reading, but so far I'm using a few words and will work more in when I start getting the hang of it. This is the book I got about it, not sure if that is what you are looking for though. Book
