In the story chair, Ted Moult

Each day this week Play School starts with a poem about farm animals, and Ted Moult returns to the storyteller's chair with three stories about his own farm.
On Tuesday Brian Cant tells another story about Skitter, Hope, and Camberley, the three felt penmen-it is Skitter's birthday. Thursday is a special day with the picturebook Miss Moppet by Beatrix Potter, and a visit to hospital through the square window.
