A short English-language picture story for young readers, from one of the more recent series of children's books by Sybil Wettasinghe. It is set in large type across a small number of pages, with colour illustrations throughout, and is pitched at primary school children — those reading on their own for the first time, or being read to at home.
Wettasinghe was a Sri Lankan writer and illustrator of children's books, working in both Sinhala and English, and she drew the pictures for her own stories. Her books are a familiar part of childhood reading in Sri Lanka, and English editions such as this one carry that work to readers abroad.
The publisher is M. D. Gunasena & Co., a Colombo house with a long presence in Sri Lankan educational and children's publishing. This edition will suit parents and teachers looking for simple English reading material with Sri Lankan illustration, and adults buying a small, readable gift for a child.
