DISAPPEARING CARROTS
Teddy is hungry mommy. Rosie is hungry too. I t’s not quite ready. You’ll have to wait a few more minutes.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes… is it ready now?
How about you go get two carrots from the garden. I’ll prepare them into bunny carrots to munch while you’re waiting. Yay. Bunny carrots. Caillou and Rosie went out to the vegetable garden where the carrots were growing.
Caillou had picked carrots before and knew they were ready to be picked. This one. Then it was Rosie’s turn to get a bunny carrot. It’s hard. No Rosie. Mommy has to wash them first.
Because it was such a nice day, mommy decided they should eat their lunch outside. Hey. You two need to wash those hands before you eat. Off you go. Caillou couldn’t find his bunny carrots anywhere. He wondered what had happened to them. Gone. I can’t find them. This is very strange. I guess it’s a mystery. The case of the
disappearing carrots.
I’ll pick some more for you. Caillou was really puzzled. Where could those carrots have gone. Mommy, mommy! A rabbit. There’s a rabbit. He has a carrot. Really? This way. Are you sure it was a rabbit? Yes, a little white rabbit.
There it is. Maybe the rabbit will come back. Caillou thought he spotted the rabbit’s white tail in the garden,
but there was no rabbit.
Caillou was so disappointed. He thought that he would never see that little white bunny again. Then he felt something pulling on his carrot. Look mommy. Oh my goodness! It is a rabbit bunny. I told you I saw him. Be careful. He doesn’t know you snowball. So this is where you’re hiding. So this your rabbit Mr. Hinkle?
No, it’s mine. I‘m Nancy. I’m visiting my brother here, and somehow, snowball escaped from his cage. We’ve been looking everywhere for this little guy. Would you like to pat snowball? Well I guess that solves the case of the
disappearing carrots. And I found the lost bunny.
CAILLOU MARCHES ON
Ready daddy. Thank you Caillou. How you like the sound of the wind in the leaves. Okay let’s go. It’s such a nice day, I thought I’d walk you over to Clementine’s instead of taking the car. Hi there Caillou. Hi. Hello. Okay Caillou, I’ll see you at dinnertime. Bye.
Clementine is playing in her room. Why don’t you go up and surprise her. But when he got to the top of the stairs,
Caillou heard an unusual sound. What could it be? What does Billy do? Billy’s practice on his tuba so we have to be very quiet. Caillou and Clementine tried really hard not to make any noise.
Hey Caillou. Come on in. I bet you’ve never seen a tuba before. Sure. To play, I blow in here, like this.
Caillou is very impressed. I want to try. Okay, but it’s not as easy as it looks. Huh. Caillou was frustrated that he couldn’t make sounds like Billy. It takes a lot of practice to be a musician. I play in a marching band at school.
My friends are on their way here to practice. A marching band? Oh yes. I see them. They march around and they
play music at the same time.
Look at all the music notes are written on the paper. That way, I remember what to play. Caillou was very impressed that Billy could play music by reading notes on a piece of paper. Play some more music
Billy, please. Okay, but my friends will be here soon. Want to play a music game until they get here?
Play a high note and you try to reach for the ceiling, or I play a low note and you try to go as low as you can okay.
Now you guys go up and down as I play. Look how far down I can go. It’s a high one, I can reach way up higher.
Billy, your friends are in the backyard. Gotta go. See you guys later. Caillou was having a great time playing the high and low game. He didn’t want to stop. I‘ll get it. Hey, I know. Let me try Clementine. Caillou was using that.
Come on you two, I’ve got an idea. Would you like some cookies? and would you like milk or juice?
Did you say you wanted vinegar? Well okay then. No, milk please.
Ah. Billy’s band is starting to practice. Maybe you can listen to them after your snack. Caillou couldn’t wait to hear all the musicians play together. Caillou is fascinated by the trumpet and the drum.
We can play music too. Sorry, but it’s really difficult for the band to get together and practice. We have to be the only ones playing.
Caillou was very disappointed. He wanted to play with the band. But we are going to practice marching. You can
march with us if you want to. Okay, let’s practice the steps. One, two, three, four, and, come on Caillou. Let’s march. One, two, three, four.
Caillou… your daddy called. He said it’s time for dinner soon. Time to go. Caillou wasn’t ready to go home yet.
He wanted to keep marching. Look! Oh no. My sheet music. There. Thanks Caillou. I couldn’t play without this.
Caillou felt very proud that he helped Billy. Since the band has to march and we’re walking Caillou home,
why don’t we all march together? Well, what do you say guys? We do have to practice marching and playing at the
same time. Then let’s go. YAY! And you two can play your horns. Caillou is excited to march all the way
home with the band. Hello Caillou. What’s all this? We brought you some music daddy. It nearly got away but
I caught it.
CAILLOU AND THE COWS
Who’s mooing? Caillou was excited because he was going on a picnic with his family. We’re going on a picnic! We’re going on a picnic. Rosie is sleeping. Oh. Come on, let’s get our seat belts on because we’re going on a picnic.
After a while of playing quietly, Caillou started to feel it was taking a very long time to get to the picnic.
Are we there yet mommy? It’s still a little bit further sweetie.
Mommy look! Cows! Can we go see the cows? Can we? What do you say we have our picnic right over there? Sure, why not. Caillou had not seen cows very often. He was excited to see them up close. Hi cows. Look who’s awake.
Rosie wanted to watch the cows like Caillou did, but it was difficult to climb. Need a hand Rosie? Up you go.
I want to go up too. Okay. What are the cows saying? I think in their own special way, they’re saying hello.
Caillou loved watching the cows. Rosie hungry. Well then. Time for lunch. Take your time Caillou. We’ve got all
afternoon. I want to go see the cow some more. Just a minute. I’ll go with you. I’ll bring along your plane. We can play later. Rosie do you want to go see the cows with mommy? Okay. Just finish your apple first.
Caillou, can I try your airplane? Okay. Hooray. Good daddy. My airplane! I’ll get it. Thank you daddy. Yay!
Honest I was just leaving. Goodbye. Be careful there. Thanks that was close. Phew. Anyone thirsty? I have a special treat. It was one of Caillou’s favorites. Chocolate milk. How do you like it Caillou? What’s this? It means I love it.
FOLLOW THAT SOUND
One snowy evening, Grandma was having a visit with Caillou and Rosie. Does your nose honk Rosie? What was that? Maybe it’s a monster. Oh. Caillou knew there wasn’t really a monster, but it was fun to imagine one.
Oh I don’t think a monster could fit under there.
The snow.
Caillou loved the snowplow and all the neat sounds it made, and all the clowns danced out of the circus tent ready for the big parade. There’s that squeaky sound again. But now it’s squeaking and thumping and… It’s coming from over there. Maybe it’s a dinosaur. I’ll go check. Caillou was imagining he was following the tracks of a dinosaur.
Oh. Well hello there. I‘m following a dinosaur mommy. And it’s down there. Maybe daddy can help you have company. Coming… good luck.
Caillou couldn’t hear the squeaky sound anymore, but then he heard another sound. Did you hear that squeaky sound daddy? You mean the drill. Was it sandpaper? Was it my hammer? It’s that sound. Now the sound went
squeak and rattle rattle. It sounds like it’s moving upstairs. You better go and check. And with that, Caillou ran upstairs to follow that sound. He didn’t know where to look next, but then he heard something very familiar.
Sounds down the hall. And he knew just who to ask.
Have you found your dinosaur yet? Dinosaur… I thought it was a monster. It could be a spaceship, monster, a
dinosaur. A spaceship… what kind of sound could that be? Come on. Follow me.
Caillou couldn’t believe it. There wasn’t anybody in his room but gilbert. How could gilbert have been making such a strange sound? Why that’s one of Rosie’s old baby toys. Gilbert must have got it out of the bath toy pail. Well, now we know what squeaks, and rattles, and thumps, Don’t we Caillou? Gilbert.
MUSIC BOX
Mommy, how did you get all tangled up in my coat? I don’t know. What are you doing mommy? I’m gonna put
uh… all these things up in the attic. I’ll help you. Okay. You carry this hat. Thank you Caillou.
Caillou liked coming to the attic because it was full of surprises. Look mommy! I‘d completely forgotten about those. This was my music box when I was little.
Caillou liked the music that came out of the music box. And this was my favorite bear. The bear has a hole in its head. You want to help me fix it? Huh, there. Now he’s a pirate bear. Caillou found that the bear was more fun
since the music box didn’t play music anymore.
I’m a pirate. Me Caillou. No Rosie. Rosie come here. I have something for you. Here comes the pirate ship that was the music box playing. I want to play with the music box. Mine. You want this? No. You want my pirate ship?
No. You can play with my pirate bear if you want. Rosie really liked the bear, so she decided to let Caillou have the musicbox in exchange.
Now that the music box had stopped playing, Caillou wanted his bear back. Here, you can play with the music
box. No. I want my pirate bear. Mine. What’s going on? I want my bear back. The music box is broken.
Let me see the music box. Look, if you turn this key and open the music box, it starts playing. Why don’t
you and Rosie take turns playing with it.
Caillou was not happy taking turns. He wanted to play with the music box and the bear. Oh what have we here… Oh. Pirates. Have you found a treasure? It’s the music box. Pirate bear is guarding it. Okay. Caillou and Rosie have decided to play pirates together.
DADDY
My daddy shows me how to do lots of neat stuff. We like skating, except it’s not that easy at first. And sometimes, daddy acts silly, but he always knows how to take care of us. When I grow up, I want to be just like my daddy.
