A colouring book for young children, part of a series from M. D. Gunasena intended to develop the colouring skills children already have. This title takes the English alphabet as its subject.
The pages set out pictures to be coloured in, each paired with the English word that names it, alongside the letters of the alphabet. The idea is a simple one: while a child is occupied with crayons or pencils, the letters, the pictures and the words sitting beside them become familiar too. Colouring and early reading happen in the same sitting rather than being treated as separate tasks.
It suits children at the stage where letters are starting to mean something but formal reading practice is still some way off, and it works equally well at home or in a preschool setting. Parents in Sri Lanka will know M. D. Gunasena as a long-established Colombo publisher and bookseller whose list includes school and children's titles; this is one of its English-language books for the youngest readers.
Straightforward, unfussy and meant to be written in — the sort of book that is used up rather than kept pristine.
