A Sinhala pop-up retelling of the fairy tale of the wooden puppet who comes to life, issued by M. D. Gunasena as part of a series drawing on fairy tales known to children around the world. The text is by Niranjan Chaminda Karunathilake.
The whole book is in Sinhala, with no English text, so it suits households where a child is being read to in Sinhala or is learning to read the script. The language is kept simple. Pages are illustrated in colour, and the pop-up construction raises figures from the spread as each one is opened. The book is bound in hard covers.
It is made for young children rather than independent readers — the kind of book an adult holds open while a child works the paper. Buyers abroad looking for Sinhala-language picture books for children at home, or for families keeping up a second language, will find this one straightforward in both its vocabulary and its story.
