A Sinhala-language pop-up book for young children, written by Niranjan Chaminda Karunathilake and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. It belongs to a series of well-known fairy tales retold for small readers, and the volume carries the Sinhala title Kale Madde Kathandare — a story set in the middle of the forest.
The text is set in simple language. The pages are illustrated in colour and built with pop-up elements that rise as the book is opened, and the volume is bound in hard covers. The publisher describes the series as intended to give young children a new kind of experience of reading.
Buyers outside Sri Lanka should note that the whole book is in Sinhala; there is no English text. That makes it most useful to families raising children in the language, to Sinhala-speaking households abroad, and to anyone building a collection of Sri Lankan children's publishing. M. D. Gunasena is a long-established Colombo house publishing in Sinhala and English, with a substantial list for schools and children.
