A picture story for young children, written in Sinhala by Sumana Saparamadu and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit households where a child is learning to read the language or where a parent or grandparent can read aloud.
The story turns on a small boy and his milk pot. The pot slips away from him and is carried off down the river, and the child is left miserable. That simple loss is the whole of the tale, told at a length a small listener can hold in mind.
The book is set in large type, chosen so that children at the earliest stage of reading can follow the words themselves, and it is illustrated throughout.
Useful for Sinhala-speaking families abroad looking for early readers in the language, and for anyone building a shelf of Sri Lankan children's books in the original.
