A programme for children under five
'Please tell more stories about - ' This is a frequent and significant form of request which comes to us from our under-fives, for the children get attached to the personalities in their stories; they see them as real creatures in a real world and want to know about their friends and relations and their further adventures. All this is, indeed, another aspect of the expression of the small child's constant need for a feeling of security and a coherent world in which things fit together. This week our small listeners will have plenty of this kind of satisfaction, for they are to hear again on two separate days E.E. Ellsworth's two stories of 'The Timid Little Black Hen,' as well as another tale from the Rev. W. Awdry's book 'Thomas the Tank Engine.'
Some of our listeners have already met Thomas, and Edward, the little engine, and Gordon, the big one, in their story books, consequently we are careful not to give them more than the minimum of adaptation necessary for their presentation by radio. We are sure the children would resent it.
Finally, on another subject, we must ask mothers to warn their children that there will be no 'Listen with Mother' broadcast on Whit Monday.
(Elizabeth A. Taylor)
