A picture book for young readers from Sybil Wettasinghe, the Sri Lankan writer and illustrator whose children's stories are familiar to generations of readers on the island. It belongs to one of the later series of children's story books she produced, published here in English by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo.
The book is set in large type across a small number of pages, which makes it suited to primary school children — those reading on their own for the first time, or reading aloud with an adult. Colour paintings run through it, in the style that has long drawn young children to Wettasinghe's work.
For families outside Sri Lanka wanting Sinhala storytelling in English for a small child, or for teachers and libraries building a shelf of Sri Lankan children's books, this is a straightforward place to begin. It also makes a sensible gift for a new reader.
