This is a Sinhala-language book, written for Sinhala-reading children, with no English text — an important point for buyers outside Sri Lanka.
It is the second book in a series published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. to teach the basic facts of Buddhism to Buddhist children in the primary grades. The material gathered here covers paying homage to the Triple Gem, devotional verses and other gāthā, Jātaka stories, and the life of the Buddha, together with a number of instructive stories intended to accustom children from an early age to leading a good life.
The publisher recommends it as a supplementary reader for Buddhist children, which places it alongside school Dhamma School work rather than replacing it. It suits a household where a child is learning to read Sinhala and is being introduced to the chants, stories and observances of Buddhist practice at the same time — the kind of book a parent or grandparent reads aloud with a child before the child reads it alone.
