In the story chair, H. E. Todd

Each day this week Play School starts with a different nonsense rhyme.
H. E. Todd returns to the story chair with three more Bobby Brewster stories: 'The Walking Pyjamas', 'Silly Shoes', and 'Soap and Cheese'. Terence Holland tells a story about dragons, and afterwards the windows will show some strange beasts of long ago. Thursday's picturebook is The story of the Little Red Engine by Diana Ross, with pictures by Leslie Wood.
