A Sinhala-language picture book for young readers, and one of a series of children's stories by Sybil Wettasinghe issued by M. D. Gunasena. The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit households reading in that language or children learning to read it.
The book is short and set in large type, which is what makes it workable for children in the primary grades who are still finding their way through a page on their own. Colour illustrations run through it.
Sybil Wettasinghe is among the figures most closely associated with Sinhala children's writing and illustration, and her books have been read by generations of Sri Lankan children. Families abroad often buy her titles to keep Sinhala reading alive at home, and this is a straightforward place to begin with a young child rather than a long or demanding story.
M. D. Gunasena & Co. is a long-established Colombo publisher and bookseller working in Sinhala and English, with a substantial list of school and children's books.
