A short English-language picture story for young readers, from one of the later series of children's books written by Sybil Wettasinghe. It is set in large type across a small number of pages, which makes it suitable for children at primary school age — either reading on their own or being read to.
Colour illustrations run through the book, and they are a large part of what it offers a young child. The combination of big letters, brief text and pictures on the page is the standard shape of a first reader, and that is what this is: something a child can get to the end of.
Sybil Wettasinghe was a Sri Lankan writer and illustrator of children's books, working in both Sinhala and English over a long career, and several generations of Sri Lankan children grew up with her stories. This title is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a Sri Lankan publisher and bookseller of long standing.
Suitable for a child beginning to read English, and for families abroad who want Sri Lankan storybooks on the shelf at home.
