One title from an English-language series of picture books made to give very young children their first facts about animals. This one is about the leopard.
The approach across the series is the same: each animal's distinguishing features are set out simply and directly, in language pitched at children who are beginning to read or who are being read to. Colour illustrations accompany the text and are drawn to show the characteristics being described, so a child can match what is said on the page to what the animal actually looks like.
W. Maria is the author, and the book is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Sri Lankan house publishing in Sinhala and English.
It suits parents and teachers putting together a first shelf of non-fiction for a child, and works either as a single book about one animal or as part of the wider set. For families outside Sri Lanka, it is also a straightforward way to introduce a child to an animal they are likelier to meet in a book than in a field — the leopard being an animal closely associated with the island.
