A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes stories, and music
'Bovver dat,' said a little girl to her mother after a ' Listen with Mother ' broadcast, ' you better write to dat lady I So her mother did-to ask why we no longer played and sang the nursery rhyme ' One, two, three, four, five.' We had introduced it into some of the earlier broadcasts in an incomplete version-but so many children were ' sorry ' for us because we ' didn't know ' the whole rhyme, and so many wrote to tell us how it should end, that we discontinued using it until we could make a new recording. Whereupon numerous requests like the one above quickly made us aware how popular a rhyme it was. Even more illuminating, we thought, was the persistence of the requests over the weeks. Not hearing the nursery rhyme did not mean that the children forgot about it, or that they accepted the inevitable and ceased to ask for it. Impressions are vivid when you are under five and the desire to repeat an enjoyed experience is very strong. This favourite rhyme has been back in the programmes for some time now, and our young listeners can enjoy it still again this week. Elizabeth A. Taylor
