This is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood in Sinhala, published for young children by M. D. Gunasena & Co. as one title in a series of fairy tale books prepared for Sri Lankan readers. The text is entirely in Sinhala — there is no English on the page — so it suits households raising children in the language, Sinhala-medium classrooms, and families abroad who want their children reading something other than English at storytime.
The story is told in simple, plain Sinhala, pitched at children who are beginning to read on their own or who are being read to. It is printed on glossy paper with colour illustrations throughout, in the picture-book manner familiar from this kind of children's series.
Priyangwada Perera is credited as the author of this Sinhala version. The publisher, M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, is a long-established Colombo house whose list includes school and children's books in Sinhala.
For buyers outside Sri Lanka, the appeal is straightforward: a story most children already know, in a language they may be learning or keeping up, in a format small hands can manage. Readers who do not read Sinhala script will not be able to follow the text.
