An English alphabet book for young children, written and illustrated by the Sri Lankan children's author and illustrator Sybil Wettasinghe. Each letter is carried by her drawings in full colour, in the style that has made her work familiar to generations of Sri Lankan readers.
It was the last book she made for M. D. Gunasena, the Colombo publishing house with which she worked over many years. That gives the book a particular place in her output, though it remains what it was designed to be: a first alphabet for small children, intended for reading aloud with an adult or for a child turning the pages alone and recognising the pictures before the letters.
The text is in English. Parents and teachers in Sri Lanka and abroad who want an early English alphabet book drawn by a Sri Lankan artist, rather than an imported one, will find this suits that purpose. It will also interest readers who already know Wettasinghe's picture books and collect her work.
