In the story chair, Enid Lorimer

Humpty Dumpty enjoys dreaming and this week Play School is about dreaming-at night and during the day.
On Tuesday Barry Wilsher dresses up as a waiter, Carole Ward tells the story of Jenny and Benny, and the round window shows another adventure of Mr. Popalon the onion man. Thursday's picturebook is Little Bear's Friend by Else Holmelund Minarik, and during the week Enid Lorimer returns with three stories: 'The Pedlar of Swaffham', 'The Cat and the Mouse', and 'The Frozen Duck'.
