A programme for children at home.

This week the storyteller is H.E. Todd who is a shoe manufacturer - and also a storyteller. His books about Bobby Brewster, a boy who meets unusual adventures, are really shaggy-dog stories for the under-fives. This week children will be able to see the toy television set working, and it will be showing some advertising films which will suggest, for example, that to eat an orange a day is a good idea. Then on Friday there will be another chance to see how the tadpoles are getting on. The presenters this week are Eric Thompson (seen recently in Moving On) and Julie Stevens, who has had a part in The Avengers.
