A programme for children under five
This week Julia Lang begins our programmes with an old favourite 'Timothy's Threepenny Bit,' by Joan E. Cass a story of everyday events that might happen to any small child. Tomorrow's story, told by Dorothy Smith, also describes a homely scene but in a country setting, and 'Peggy's Lamb,' by Hazel Chew, touches that ready and instinctive love of animals so typical of children. On Wednesday and Thursday Dorothy Smith is with us again with a story in two parts by Jean Sutcliffe called 'Christopher's Friend.' Friday's tale, 'The Doll's House Garden,' written by Helen Wareing and told by Daphne Oxenford, describes an activity that some of our small listeners may like to engage in for rhemselves.
