A programme for children under five
Nursery rhymes, stories, and music
And now for a song,' says ' the lady,' ' you'll know what it is as soon as you hear the music' With what satisfaction our small listeners snap out the name of the nursery rhyme as the ins-trumental version is played, and with what complacency they accept the confirmation of their guess when the words themselves are sung. This kind of satisfaction, springing from a sense of certainty and grip, may come to our listeners more than once this week. Today, for instance, in Jaene Dee 's 'The Happy Engine,' told by Julia Lang , it comes vicariously when the engine finds that he actually can accomplish what he believed. Tomorrow, in W. Cooper 's ' Timothy Kitten ,' read by Daphne Oxenford , it comes directly when its hearers guess the secret of Timothy's paws, and share it with Timothy's mother. It comes, too, from D. J. Saint 's little poem ' Animal Friends.' For stories for the remainder of the week, we have ' My Friend Dorothy,' by E. E. Gardner , and ' A Place for Everything,' by Herbert McKay , told on Wednesday and Friday by Daphne Oxenford , and on Thursday ' Janet and the Baby Fairy,' by D. Harrison , with storyteller Julia Lang.
