A Sinhala-language reader for Buddhist children in the primary grades, published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. as part of a series introducing the basic matters of the Buddha's teaching. The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit households and classrooms where children read Sinhala.
The material covered includes paying homage to the Triple Gem, devotional verses and other gathas, Jataka stories, and the life of the Buddha. Alongside these are a number of instructive stories intended to settle children into good habits from an early age. The publisher also recommends it as a supplementary reader for Buddhist children, rather than only as classroom material.
It is the kind of book bought for a child learning at dhamma school and used again at home — short pieces, familiar stories and verses meant to be read aloud and learned. Families abroad raising children in Sinhala often look for exactly this: ordinary teaching books from Sri Lanka, in the language the child is being taught in.
