A short picture book for young readers in English, from one of the later series of children's stories by Sybil Wettasinghe. The text is set in large letters across a small extent, which puts it within reach of primary school children reading on their own or alongside an adult.
Colour pictures run through the book, and they are a large part of what is on offer here. Wettasinghe was an illustrator as well as a writer, and her children's books in Sinhala and English are familiar to generations of Sri Lankan readers — simple drawings, warm colour, and stories pitched at the age that is just beginning to read.
Published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd of Colombo, a long-established Sri Lankan house publishing in Sinhala and English, with a list that includes school books and children's titles.
Suitable for a child at the early reading stage, for a classroom shelf, or for a family abroad wanting Sri Lankan children's books in English at home.
