A first counting book for young children, set out in Sinhala, Tamil and English together. Each page carries a number three ways: written as a word, shown in its numeric form, and matched with a picture showing that many things, so a child sees the quantity at the same time as the name for it. The sequence runs through counting up to twenty.
The three-language arrangement means the same page serves a child learning to count in Sinhala, in Tamil or in English, and lets a parent or teacher move between them. For households where more than one of these languages is spoken, or for classrooms working across them, the numbers sit side by side rather than in separate books.
Activity pages are included for practising what has been covered, giving children something to do with the numbers beyond turning the page.
Written by Manohari Jayasooriya and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a house that publishes educational and children's titles in Sinhala, Tamil and English. It suits early learners at the stage of recognising numerals and beginning to count aloud, whether at home or in a pre-school setting, and will be of interest to Sri Lankan families abroad wanting their children to meet numbers in Sinhala and Tamil script as well as English.
