A programme for children under five
' My daughter is five-and-a-half years old,' writes a mother, ' but she is unable to go to school yet as she has a lot of sickness. As she has to spend so much time indoors and her little friends now go to school you can imagine how much " Listen with Mother " means to her.' One story, 'The Lorry ' by Ruth Simortis, specially intrigued this little girl, for Bill's lorry, like herself, longed to go to the seaside. But the lorry was more fortunate than she; he took matters into his own steering-wheel, and was, she thinks, ' so sensible to take the wrong turnings.' If she is not better and able to go to the seaside this year, she may at least enjoy hearing the tale again, told tomorrow by Julia Lang, who also relates Friday's story, ' Making a Train' by Mary Reinach. Today. and on Wednesday comes Dorothy Smith with ' Those Three Little Kittens ' by S. M. Penberthy, and A Tale of Three Puppies ' by Jane Shaw. Thursday's story, 'The Picnic' by R. H. Bevan, will be told by Daphne Oxenford.
The stories and rhymes are introduced this week and next by Lorna Pegram.
