One title from the Animal Tales series, a set of English-language children's books about animals children are likely to have seen for themselves. The device running through the series is a simple one: each animal speaks in the first person and tells the reader about itself. Here the speaker is a monkey.
The writing is kept simple, suited to young readers working through English text on their own or with an adult reading alongside. At the end of the book there is a short section of further information about the animal, set apart from the main narrative.
The series is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, an established Colombo publishing house, and credited to Dolphine Press. For families outside Sri Lanka, books of this kind are a straightforward way to put locally published English reading material into a child's hands — written and produced in Sri Lanka, about animals that are part of ordinary life there.
Suitable for early readers, home libraries and classroom shelves, and for anyone building a set of the Animal Tales books one animal at a time.
