A Sinhala retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk, issued by M. D. Gunasena as part of a series of well-known fairy tales produced as pop-up books. The text is in Sinhala throughout, with no English edition of the text on the page, so it suits households reading with children in Sinhala or families keeping the language alive abroad.
The telling is kept in simple language for young readers. The book is printed with colour illustrations and bound in hard covers, and the pages carry pop-up elements that rise as the book is opened — the format is the point as much as the story is, and it is aimed at small children rather than independent readers.
Niranjan Chaminda Karunathilake prepared the text. M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd is an established Colombo publisher and bookseller issuing titles in Sinhala and English, including children's books and school material.
Other titles in the same fairy-tale series share the format.
