A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music

Among this week's stories for our under-fives is one in two parts by Diana Ross called 'Joe is Lost.' Older brothers and sisters who listen to the broadcasts for schools may have heard some of Diana Ross's stories - if they belong to the Lets Join In audience they are almost certain to have an enthusiasm for the Little Red Engine who gets a name - while the two we have already broadcast to the under-fives, 'One Little, Two Little,' and ' Baby Goes Out for a Walk ' (both from the book called 'Nursery Tales') have established themselves among their favourites. 'His favourite story up to date,' wrote one little boy's mother, 'is about John going to the farm with Mother and Baby, but he insists that the black hen lays three eggs. one for each of them! He has also provided some of the animals with babies, and I am expected to remember such additions as well as the original story.' Diana Ross designed these stories as flexible instruments capable of adaptation to the needs of the listener of the moment; she would approve of this little boy - and of his hard-pressed mother
