A short English-language picture book for young readers, from one of the series of children's story books by Sybil Wettasinghe. The text is set in large letters across a small number of pages, which makes it suited to primary school children — those reading on their own for the first time, or sitting with an adult who reads aloud.
Colour paintings run through the book, and they are a large part of what is on offer here. Wettasinghe's work has long been familiar to Sri Lankan children, and this is a straightforward example of the kind of book she made: a simple story, told briefly, with pictures doing much of the work.
Published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co., a long-established Sri Lankan house publishing in Sinhala and English. Useful for families abroad who want English-language children's books with a Sri Lankan origin, for school and library shelves, and for readers building a collection of Wettasinghe's titles.
