This is Puss in Boots, retold in Sinhala for young children as part of a series of fairy tales drawn from stories known around the world. The text is in Sinhala throughout — international buyers who do not read the language should know that before ordering, though much of the appeal here sits in the paper engineering and the pictures rather than the words.
It is a pop-up book. The pages lift and open out as the child turns them, and the illustrations are in colour. The binding is hardcover. The retelling is written in plain, simple Sinhala of the kind meant to be read aloud to a child, or managed by a child beginning to read alone.
Niranjan Chaminda Karunathilake is the author. The publisher is M. D. Gunasena & Co., a Colombo house publishing in Sinhala and English.
The intention behind the series is straightforward: to give small children a different physical experience of a book, one where the story stands up off the page. It suits Sinhala-speaking households abroad looking for picture books in the language, and families reading with a child at the age where a book is still partly a toy.
