A programme for children under five
One of the most popular of the nursery rhymes we have so far broadcast to our under-fives is ' Polly, put the Kettle on.' It is a favourite we are always being asked to repeat and it takes its place still again in this week's programmes.
The mother of one little boy has told us how he insists on singing it afterwards-she the first verse, he the second-because, he tells her, he is ' the mister.' Evidently this little boy appreciates not only the nursery rhyme itself but the miniature drama involved in our presentation of it, and his story provides us with still another of the examples, which come frequently to our notice, of how interest in these programmes carries over into the play and general activities of our young listeners. Some of them, we hear, actually make their own programmes! * He is his own broadcasting station,' writes the mother of one little boy. ' He sings rhymes, tells himself a story, " signs off, ' and then. after giving the appropriate music, announces: " This is Woman's Hour, introduced by Olive Shapley. " ' And he times his programme for 6.0 a.m. Elizabeth A. Taylor
