A short story for young readers from Sybil Wettasinghe, published in English by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo. It belongs to a recent series of children's story books by the author.
The book is set in large type and runs to only a few pages, which makes it suitable for children at primary school — those reading on their own for the first time, or reading aloud with an adult beside them. Colour illustrations run through it, pitched at the same young audience.
Sybil Wettasinghe wrote and illustrated children's books in Sri Lanka over a long working life, in Sinhala and in English, and her drawing style — soft, rounded figures and warm colour — is familiar to generations of Sri Lankan children. Titles of hers are still read in homes and classrooms across the island.
Suitable as a first reader for a child learning English, or as a gift for a family wanting Sri Lankan children's books on the shelf rather than imported ones. Parents and teachers looking for early-reading material with an island setting and an island illustrator will find it straightforward to use.
