One of a series of fold-out picture books made for very young children, this title introduces action words — the basic vocabulary of doing, moving and making.
The format is the point. Each page is built to fold in half, and it shows the child one thing when it is opened out and something different when it is folded back. That small mechanical trick turns every page into an activity rather than a picture to look at passively, which is why books of this kind hold the attention of children who are not yet reading on their own.
The words are given in Sinhala, Tamil and English, so the same page serves a child learning in any of the three, or a household that uses more than one. For a parent or a preschool teacher, that makes it usable well beyond a single language group.
Credited to Dolphine Press and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, an established Sri Lankan educational publisher. It suits children at the stage of naming what they see and do — the point at which flaps, folds and surprises do more teaching than instruction does.
