Uncle Felix is coming over for dinner! Mommy and Daddy are very excited, but Caillou has never met him and is a little aprehensive. When Uncle Felix arrives, Mommy and Daddy seem interested only in their visitor, and Caillou feels left out and unimportant. It's hard for Caillou to understand why Uncle Felix gets all his parents'attention, but with time and a little help, he is soon as delighted as his parents with their guest. A Special Guest helps children overcome their insecurity they sometimes feel when faced with the arrival of a total stranger.
