A programme for children under five
Here comes that ' naughty little sister ' again-this time in the naughtiest story of all ' Don't want him, nasty old Father Christmas man! ' she says in today's story by Dorothy Edwards. After hearing this story last year, an adult listener questioned the wisdom of suggesting to our young audience that any child might dislike Father Christmas, but we feel sure no harm will come of it for him, and that on the contrary the children will register their disapproval of the little girl's shocking behaviour. Tomorrow and Wednesday bring us more stories by Jean Sutcliffe about Charlie and his big red bus, two more favourites in the world of personalities and objects which our two years of programmes have created for our listeners. This time they are concerned with the transporting of a Christmas tree and the business is not without its measure of unexpected incident. With Thursday's story of Tumpy the Elephant by M. Wallace we end our celebrations of the Christmas season, and on Friday in ' Toast for Tea ' by Joan E. Cass we see that there is real and satisfying enjoyment to be found in the comfortable pleasures of everyday family life. Elizabeth A. Taylor
