Can anyone recommend a book for teaching American Sign Language to a 6-year-old? He isn't deaf, but I thought it might be fun anyway. He learned to read with "teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons" very quickly at 5, so we think he's bright enough.

Well, I don't have a recommendation for a book, but I do have a website you might enjoy:
aslpro.com
It just gives you a little, mainly words and phrases, but it has video to show you exactly how to do it, plus they have asl for small children as well as adults.
I used it with a child I used to babysit that was autistic and it was great.
It won't give you an extensive education in asl, but your six yr old will have fun with it while you are deciding which direction to go with the book and all.
