In the story chair, Eileen Colwell

The North wind doth blow. And we shall have snow.
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
That is part of the poem which begins Play School each day this week. If you know it, perhaps you will say it with Carol and Colin.
Eileen Colwell is in the storychair and tells two stories - today "The little rooster and the diamond button" and on Wednesday "The polar bear". The picturebook on Thursday is called "James and the Rain" by Karla Kuskin, and on Friday there is a special story with pictures about a snowman which you may have seen before in Play School.
