In the story chair, Elisabeth Welch

Elisabeth Welch is the visitor to Play School this week. She tells three true stories about her childhood in New York: 'Central Park', 'School', and 'The Doll'. And on Tuesday, through the arched window, you can actually see the skyscrapers of New York. Carole Ward retells the story of Goldilocks on Wednesday, with the help of Teddy, and on Thursday Colin Jeavons reads Whistle for Willie, written and illustrated by Ezra Jack Keats.
