One title in the First Explorer Series, a set of early learning picture books from M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo. Each book in the series takes a single first concept and presents it through colour illustration, with the aim of building vocabulary and observation in very young children.
This volume is about vegetables. The reader meets a range of them in illustrated form and learns their names, with the book also pointing young children towards healthy eating as part of the exercise. The text is in English and kept to the level a child at the earliest stage of learning can follow, which in practice means naming and looking rather than reading.
Books of this kind are usually shared rather than read alone — an adult names what is on the page, the child repeats it, and the pictures carry the rest. The format suits that: illustrations sized for small hands and short attention, one idea per book.
It will be of interest to parents and nursery teachers assembling a first shelf of English-language picture books, and to Sri Lankan families abroad who want children's books from home. The other titles in the First Explorer Series follow the same pattern with different first concepts, so the books work together as a group as well as singly.
