This is an English edition of a title from the Sinhala children's series Dangkara Nuto, published in English as Nuto the Curious. It follows the Sinhala book Nutota Balu Patiyaek, in which Nuto acquires a puppy.
The series takes the kind of questions children actually ask and answers them simply, from a scientific point of view, while staying inside a child's world rather than stepping outside it to lecture. The storytelling is paired with illustration throughout.
Nuwan Thotawatta is a doctor by profession and a children's writer. He has written many books for children and also writes lyrics for children's songs, and his creative work has been nominated for awards. Chathuska Rambukwella is credited alongside him on this edition.
The book is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Sri Lankan publishing and bookselling house, and the text is in English.
It suits younger readers being read to, and newly independent readers working through a short illustrated story on their own. It will also interest Sri Lankan families abroad who want their children reading something written at home, and adults learning about Sri Lankan children's publishing in translation.
