It is a pleasure to see a child playing happily, which is why the trend for using play in teaching has been growing. Suniay, Parhiay aur Rung Bhariay (Listen, Play, and Colour) has been written with this trend in mind. In it children will read the alphabet, colour pictures, and listen to parents or teachers recite poetic couplets. In this light hearted way they can be familiarized with their environment, and their interest in it enhanced. The activities in the book will be helpful in building good habits in the children. Teachers will be able to extract the most advantage out of the book by using the teachers’ notes.
