A children's story in English by Sybil Wettasinghe, the Sri Lankan writer and illustrator whose picture books have been read by generations of children on the island. It belongs to one of her later series of story books for young readers.
The book is set in large type across a short extent, which is what makes it workable for primary school children reading on their own or with a little help. Colour paintings run through it, in the style readers of her work will recognise.
This is an English-language edition published by M. D. Gunasena & Co., an established Colombo house. It suits a child at the stage of moving from being read to towards reading independently, and it travels well as a gift for Sri Lankan families abroad who want their children to meet Wettasinghe's storytelling and pictures in English. Adults who grew up with her books often buy them for the same reason.
