The little boy in the storybook wants to know if they are going to play with blocks and learn their ABCs or pretend to be pirates on high seas or climb up one of the highest trees. He asks everyone to join him while counting and says they can pretend to be a big bear hiding in its cave. They can jump up and down or go to the park and sit on the swings. They can listen to the bluebird sing and they close their eyes when it is time to sleep. The next morning when they wake up, they wonder what they will play. The book is all about counting, learning ABCs, and finding hidden pictures.
What Are We Going to Play Today? by Maria Saroukos West is an interactive and fun book for children that makes learning interesting and entertaining.

There are different levels of learning in the book which makes it reach out to a small child and an older one too. It is a good book for tutors and parents to use during their activities sessions as there are a lot of interesting things that can be done with youngsters to make learning a fun exercise instead of boring. The author's approach to teaching children new things is novel and original and that is what makes the book unique and different from the usual books that teach children the alphabet, counting, and finding hidden pictures.
