Books in Caillou series

Caillou loves going to day care, playing with friends and experiencing new things! This book brings together two great stories about preschool. In CAILLOU: MY FIRST PLAY, Caillou, Clementine and Leo are getting ready to be in a play at day care! There are costumes to put on, lines to memorize and actions to rehearse. When the parents arrive, the curtain goes up and the excited little players take the stage. In CAILLOU: SHOW AND TELL, Caillou has a hard time finding the perfect toy to bring to day care for Show and Tell. He finally finds what to bring when he realizes that the best playthings are not always toys.

A first-ever look at the origins of Caillou, the lovable four-year old who has been inspiring generations of preschool children to grow emotionally by learning, having fun and using their imagination. In this lighthearted and intimate book, Caillou introduces himself and shares the details of his young life: his family, his world, his daily routine. Author Christine L’Heureux, who cocreated the character more than 25 years ago, chronicles the beginnings of her treasured character with tenderness and apparent delight. Illustrator Kary captures all the warmth and emotion that are the hallmarks of Caillou’s early years.

Charming illustrations reveal the tender moments from Caillou’s first year in this enchanting lift-the-flap storybook and photo album combination. A wealth of flaps are scattered throughout, allowing parents to insert their own children’s photos behind the corresponding illustrations of Caillou. Young readers will be delighted to discover their own images in this keepsake album.

Caillou’s Daddy helps him be patient until Christmas with a special Advent calendar that counts down the days left before Christmas. Each day Caillou gets to open a window on the calendar and discover a story about holiday customs around the world. Caillou finds out about the first Christmas tree and about the man who became known as St. Nick. He also takes part in his own family traditions, and learns about giving and sharing along the way―Caillou makes Christmas cards for all his friends and he gives away some of his toys. A book that celebrates the festivities, traditions and meaning of Caillou’s favorite holiday!
