What are we Playing? – Cricket

A guessing-game board book for the very young. “I am a ball. Hit me with a bat. I play on a big round ground. Over the rope. SIX!” Each page gives one more clue, and the last page turns to the child: “Your turn. Let’s PLAY!” It ends with a true fact: the bat is made from a willow tree, and lots of bats come from Kashmir.

Comes with its matching Let’s Play Cricket zine, which folds into a little rule book and opens into a tabletop pitch. Small, square board book sized for small hands: 10 pages, 97 × 97 mm. Ages 0–4 (zine for ages 3+ with an adult). One of four: badminton, basketball, cricket and football.
