A programme for children at home.
In the story chair, Bunty Gunn

The week begins with a Boxing Day tea party for Hamble, Jemima, big and little Teddy, and Humpty Dumpty - who eats too much, as usual; and there is a visit to a castle, through one of the windows. Tuesday's picture book is "Biquette the White Goat"; and on Thursday Colin Jeavons retells the adventure of Henry Hatter, the hat man. On Friday the toys make their New Year Resolutions.
