A picture alphabet book for Sinhala children beginning to learn their letters. It pairs the characters of the Sinhala hodiya with illustrations, and this printing carries new colour artwork.
The text is entirely in Sinhala. There is no English in it, so buyers outside Sri Lanka should know that it is intended for a child learning to read Sinhala, usually with a parent, grandparent or teacher reading alongside. For Sri Lankan families abroad who want their children to recognise the script, that is exactly the point of it; for anyone who cannot read Sinhala themselves, the book will be of limited use on its own.
C.P. Wickramasinghe is the author. It is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a Colombo publishing house long associated with Sinhala schoolbooks and children's titles.
Alphabet books of this kind are a fixture of early learning in Sinhala households, and this one has been read by generations of children in Sri Lanka. If you are putting together a small home library of Sinhala material for a young child, it is the sort of book that tends to be bought first.
