One title from a series of English-language animal books for young children, each devoted to a single creature. This one is about the cow.
The approach is simple throughout: the animal's distinguishing characteristics are set out plainly, in language pitched at children meeting these facts for the first time, and colour illustrations accompany the text to show those same characteristics. The aim across the series is basic knowledge about animals rather than storytelling, which makes it a book for reading aloud with a small child as much as for early independent readers.
Written by W. Maria and published in English by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Colombo publishing house. For families outside Sri Lanka, it is an example of the kind of English-language children's title produced for Sri Lankan schools and homes — and for anyone collecting the series, the individual animal volumes work as a set.
