A picture book for young readers in English, from one of the later children's series written by Sybil Wettasinghe. It is a short book, set in large type, and the text is carried alongside colour paintings of the kind that hold a child's attention on the page.
The format suits primary school children — those reading on their own for the first time, or close to it. Large letters and a small extent mean a child can get through it in one sitting without losing heart, and the illustrations give an adult reading aloud plenty to point at and talk about.
Sybil Wettasinghe was a Sri Lankan writer and illustrator of books for children, and her drawings are as much a part of her books as the words. This one is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a long-established Sri Lankan publishing house.
A straightforward choice for parents and teachers outside Sri Lanka who want Sri Lankan children's books in English, and for anyone building a shelf of Wettasinghe's work.
