A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes stories, and music
The Bundle family consists of Mr. and Mrs. Bundle, John and Mary, the twins -Peter and Jane-and baby William. This week our under-fives meet them all in three stories of family life by Ursula Hourihane. Today the Bundles have a visitor, tomorrow they go fishing, and on Wednesday it is Mrs. Bundle's birthday. Little children live very much to and for themselves, but it is not long before they begin to learn the lessons of adaptation and adjustment that are involved in living with other people. Their immediate environment is the home and their immediate social circle the family, and it is here, among father, mother, brothers, and sisters, that they take their first steps in living in society. They soon like to feel they have a place in the family unit, and so they can enjoy from time to time stories like these in which the emphasis is less upon the individual child than upon the joint activity of family life.
For this week's remaining stories there is a new one about a train by M. Thome, and an old favourite, ' A Story about a Teddy Bear,' by Margaret Gore.
