A picture book for young children, and one of a series of large letter books written and illustrated by Sybil Wettasinghe. Large type is the defining feature of the series, which is aimed at children at the stage when words on a page are still a new thing.
Wettasinghe was a Sri Lankan children's author and illustrator with a long working life in both roles, and her drawings are as much the substance of her books as the words are. This is the English edition, published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. of Colombo, a house with a long presence in Sri Lankan publishing for children and schools.
Suitable for reading aloud to a child, or for an early reader working through the lines alone. Parents, grandparents and teachers abroad who grew up with Wettasinghe's books often buy them for the next generation; the English text makes them usable in households where Sinhala is no longer the language spoken at home.
