A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
Today Daphne Oxenford returns to the microphone to take her turn as storyteller for the under-fives. On Friday, she will tell them a story they have heard before-Margaret Gore's ' Story about a Teddy Bear.' ' He loved that one,' wrote the mother of a four-year-old boy, ' and we have told it together several times. He says, " Mummy, let's tell the teddy bear story," and we have to put in the door opening and closing, the " sat down plonk," and we have to try to imitate the shopkeepers. We couldn't remember every shop at first. "I know there's something else," said Robert, and it was two days after the broadcast when he remembered-chocolate cream.'
We liked this picture of happy collaboration in story-telling between radio storyteller, mother, and child, and it is not often that we receive such a clear example of how a story may go on fermenting in a small listener's mind, and may even seem so important to him that he continues to puzzle over a forgotten detail until it is recalled at some distance of time.
