In Hilary Boyle's story. The Little Furry Animal,' our listeners are kept busy trying to discover what the little furry creature can be. No doubt some of them will guess, and be pleased at their ckverness. But for one little boy who heard the tale, this was not enough. ' He listened,' wrote his mother, ' with great interest, but was very disappointed not to hear the animal's name! ' How important are names to a young child! When a thing has a name it exists, one thing firmly catalogued out of the welter of objects and people around. But occasionally, since children often identify themselves or their pets so completely with the characters they hear about, we leave one unnamed and allow them to call him what they wish out of the world of their own experience. So it is with ' The Little Furry Animal,' which they will hear again from Dorothy Smith on Friday. On Wednesday she tells them Violet Statham's tale about ' Granny's Birthday,' while today, tomorrow, and on Thursday Daphne Oxenford brings ' The Lonely Scarecrow,' by Joan Green , A Bed in a Boot,' by Joan Cockett , and ' Chack-a-di-der,' by Catherine Mitchell. And Catherine Edwards will introduce them all. Elizabeth A. Taylor
