A programme for children at home.

It's Play School for the thousandth time today. The toys have been here since the first time; today they play a game of hide and seek and Big Teddy gets a new spotted waistcoat. The story is an old favourite, "Harry the Dirty Dog" by Gene Zion, with pictures by Margaret Bloy Graham. Sardines, cake-making, and a beetle who liked peanuts: these are some of the things that the other stories are about this week.
