A Sinhala picture book for young readers, part of a series of children's stories written by Sybil Wettasinghe and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The text is short and set in large type, which makes it suited to children in the primary grades, and colour illustrations run through it.
Sybil Wettasinghe is a Sri Lankan writer and illustrator of children's books, and her drawing is as much a part of her work as her storytelling. Books of this kind are read aloud as often as they are read alone, and the combination of big letters, few words to a page and pictures on every spread is what makes that possible for a child still gaining confidence.
Buyers outside Sri Lanka should note that this book is entirely in Sinhala. There is no English text and no parallel translation, so it will be of use to households raising children in the language, to Sinhala-medium classrooms abroad, and to readers collecting Wettasinghe's work in the original.
