A short picture story for young readers, published in English by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo, and belonging to a series of children's story books by Sybil Wettasinghe.
The book is set in large type and runs only a few pages, which makes it suited to primary school children reading on their own or with an adult nearby. Colour illustrations run through it, pitched at the age group the text is written for.
Sybil Wettasinghe was a Sri Lankan writer and illustrator of children's books, working in both Sinhala and English, and her drawings are as much a part of her books as the words. Readers who grew up with her stories in Sri Lanka often buy them for children of their own; for families abroad, an English edition is a way of putting a Sri Lankan storybook into a child's hands.
Suitable for early readers, for reading aloud, and for anyone collecting Wettasinghe's work.
