A short picture book for young readers, written by Sybil Wettasinghe and published in English by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo. It belongs to one of the more recent series of children's story books she produced.
The text is set in large letters across a small extent, which suits children at primary school age — those reading on their own for the first time, or reading aloud with an adult beside them. Colour paintings run through the book, done in the manner that children respond to.
Sybil Wettasinghe was a Sri Lankan author and illustrator of children's books, and she both wrote and drew her own stories. Her work has been a fixture of Sri Lankan childhood for generations, and this title carries her text and her pictures together.
Of interest to parents and teachers building an early-reading shelf in English, and to readers abroad who grew up with Wettasinghe's books and want them for their own children.
