“You’re getting to be a big boy, each day I grow some more. I like exploring,” Caillou sang happily as he played. His world was constantly changing, and he was finding his way with the help of Mommy and Daddy. Growing up had its challenges, but there was always lots of fun stuff to do.
One day, Caillou discovered that his tooth was wiggly. Mommy and Sarah noticed and asked why his tooth was loose. Caillou proudly explained that his baby teeth were falling out because he was a big girl now. He planned to put his tooth under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy to come and leave him a present.
Caillou had never heard of the Tooth Fairy before, so Sarah explained that she was a magical fairy who visited when children were asleep. She would check under their pillows for lost teeth and leave presents or sometimes even money. Caillou wished he had a tooth to leave for the Tooth Fairy too.
Later, Caillou and Rosie enjoyed some juice while waiting for Mommy and Daddy to come home. Suddenly, Caillou realized that he had lost a tooth. Excitedly, he showed Sarah his missing tooth. Sarah revealed that she also had a tooth that came out every night, but she didn’t want the Tooth Fairy to take it away.
As Caillou and Sarah chatted about the Tooth Fairy, they decided to go outside and play until Mommy and Daddy returned. Caillou couldn’t wait to put his tooth under his pillow and see what surprise the Tooth Fairy would leave for him.
“Hi, we’re home, Mommy and Daddy! I want to receive presents from the Tooth Fairy, just like Sarah,” Caillou excitedly expressed. However, Mommy explained that he would have to wait until he lost one of his teeth before the Tooth Fairy would pay him a visit. Caillou wondered if he could put Grandpa’s tooth under his pillow, but Mommy gently explained that he needed his own tooth, and the Tooth Fairy would be able to tell if it wasn’t his.
Caillou felt discouraged. He really wanted the Tooth Fairy to come and visit him. He thought that if he wiggled his teeth enough, they might become loose. With enthusiasm, he showed Mommy and Daddy his loose tooth, but they assured him that it seemed perfectly fine and not loose at all.
Just then, Sarah arrived and returned Caillou’s shovel. Caillou noticed that Sarah’s tooth was missing, which made him even more upset that the Tooth Fairy wasn’t going to visit him. He thought that maybe he could trick the Tooth Fairy by placing a pebble that resembled a tooth under his pillow, hoping that she would mistake it and leave him a present.
That night, as Caillou prepared for bed, Mommy reminded him to brush his teeth because the Tooth Fairy would be coming. Caillou didn’t believe he could fool the Tooth Fairy, but he agreed to leave the pebble under his pillow, even though he knew he probably wouldn’t receive a present.
The next morning, Caillou woke up feeling disappointed. The Tooth Fairy hadn’t left him a present. He expressed his desire to grow up, and Mommy reminded him that growing up takes time. Caillou then asked for a cookie, but Mommy explained that cookies weren’t meant for breakfast. Caillou wished he was tall enough to reach the cookie jar on his own.
Later, at the park, Caillou met his friend Andre, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time. Caillou admired Andre’s new bike and wished he could do all the things Andre was doing. Andre mentioned that Caillou was too small to ride his bike, and Caillou wished he was big enough to ride it.
When they returned home, Mommy measured Caillou’s height and revealed that he had grown a whole inch since the last time. Caillou felt a little better knowing that he was growing too, even if he couldn’t do everything Andre could do just yet.
Now it’s time to get ready for the park.
Look, it’s Andre! Caillou hadn’t seen his friend Andre in a long time. “Hi Caillou, come play with me,” Andre said. Caillou wanted to do all the things Andre was doing. “Wow!” Caillou exclaimed. [Music] “It’s new. My other bike got too small. Wanna try it?” Andre asked. Caillou hesitated for a moment but then said, “Well, okay.”
“You’re too small, Caillou,” Caillou wished, as he longed to be big enough to ride Andre’s bike. “Hi Caillou, did you have a good time at the park? I want to be like Andre, how come he’s bigger than me? He can ride a big bike,” Caillou asked his mom. “Andre is a little bit older than you, besides, you’ve been growing too, you know,” his mom explained.
“Let’s take a look, see? You’re a whole inch taller than the last time,” his mom measured him. “An inch? How big is an inch?” Caillou wondered. “That’s quite a lot to grow, Caillou,” his mom reassured him. Caillou felt happy and proud to be bigger than before.
“Now, Rosie, we’ll measure you too,” Caillou said to his little sister. They measured Rosie and discovered that she had also grown. Caillou realized that he was now Rosie’s big brother and felt a sense of pride in that role. “If you keep growing this fast, Caillou, you’ll be as big as Andre in no time,” his mom remarked.
Excited by the prospect, Caillou couldn’t wait to be as big as Andre. “How can I grow big faster?” Caillou asked his mom. “The only way to grow big and strong is to eat well and get lots of sleep,”
That night, Caillou ate a lot more than usual. “More, Caillou? I thought you didn’t like meatloaf,” his mom remarked. “I want to eat lots so I can grow bigger,” Caillou explained. They laughed together as Caillou enjoyed his meal.
After dinner, it was time for dessert. “Now you can have that cookie you wanted for breakfast,” his mom said. But Caillou was too full to eat it. “Come on, Caillou, you can work off all that food by helping me with the dishes,” his mom suggested. Caillou reluctantly agreed and joined his mom in the kitchen.
As they were washing the dishes, they noticed a problem with the pipes. “Looks like a problem with the pipes again. I’ll look at it in the morning,” his dad said.
Later that evening, Caillou decided to go to bed extra early in the hopes of growing faster. “You’re getting ready for bed already? It’s not even your bedtime yet,” his mom said surprised. “I want to get lots of sleep,” Caillou replied.
Before going to sleep, Caillou’s mom showed him an old picture of himself. “Look, Caillou, I found an old picture of you. See how small you were then?” she said. Caillou looked at the picture and realized how much he had grown. “I was little,” he said. “That’s right, Caillou. Now you’re a big boy,” his mom reassured him.
That night, Caillou dreamed that he was big and strong. In his dream, he could reach the high bar on the jungle gym and ride Andre’s bike. When Caillou woke up, he felt happy and believed that he was bigger.
Excited, Caillou rushed to his parents’ room. “Daddy, Daddy, am I any bigger?” he asked eagerly. “I’m afraid you’re pretty much the same size as yesterday, Caillou,”
“No one grows overnight. You’ve got years to get bigger. What are you doing fixing the sink? Let’s see if it works. Oh no! laughter Well, looks like it’s time to call the plumber. We probably just need to replace that leaky joint. Can I see, Daddy? Sorry, Caillou, but this is grown-up work.
Caillou decided to do some work of his own on the bathroom sink. “Come on, Teddy, help me fix that leaky joint. We may need your help after all, Caillou, if you aren’t too busy.”
“See, we need to turn off the water for the plumber, but we’re too big to fit in there. When the plumber gives the signal, you’ll turn it off, okay?” “Okay.”
“Now.” “Now.”
“It’s dark in here, Daddy.” “I’m right here, Caillou.”
“I did it!” “Thanks, Caillou. I could use a little helper like you more often.”
Caillou was very proud that he helped the plumber fix the sink.”
“Aha, I see you, Andre. You win again, Caillou. Your dad never finds you. I’m small enough to fit anywhere. [Laughter] Caillou’s Big Chill. It was one of the very first days of spring. The snow was melting, the flowers were growing, and Caillou and his family were outside enjoying it. See, there’s a flower poking its nose up to catch a few rays of the sun. Now that all the snow is gone, the flowers can grow. The snow will be gone for a long, long time. Caillou felt a bit sad that all the snow was gone. He loved playing in the snow, and he was going to miss it. Gilbert! Hi, Caillou. Look what I found. That’s the last of the snow. It will all be melted soon. I wish I could keep it. Well, if you want to keep it frozen, you should put it in the freezer. Caillou thought that was a great idea. [Music] No room. I know! Caillou thought of a perfect place to keep his snow: the bathtub. Let’s get some more. Caillou and Sarah brought a pail after pail of snow until the tub was filled with Caillou’s very own snow. What do you want to make with it? A snowman. My hands are cold. Mine too. We need mittens. There. Now we just need some eyes and a nose. [Music] Hi kids, Sarah. Your mom was just calling you in for lunch, okay? Bye, Caillou. Have fun with the snow. Snow! Oh, can I have a carrot, mommy? Go ahead, honey. Lunch will be a little while. Caillou thought his snowman looked absolutely perfect. Caillou, wash your hands. Lunch will be ready in a minute. After Caillou had lunch, he helped daddy wash the car, and he helped mommy with supper. Before he knew it, it was time to get ready for bed.”
“Hey, where did my snowman go? A snowman in the bathtub. I wanted to keep it until winter, but it’s time for the snow to make room for the grass and flowers. Spring is a lot of fun too. We can ride bikes and climb trees. I like riding my bike. Caillou would miss the snow, but when he thought about it, there were a lot of things he liked about spring too. Bye, Mr. Snowman. See you next year. Leo’s Hamster. [Music] You’re lucky to have a hamster. Yeah, he’s a lot of fun to play with. Caillou was very excited. He was going to take care of Leo’s hamster for the weekend while Leo was away. That’s his food and water. You have to change it every day. Hiya, buddies. Caillou was a bit nervous. He wasn’t very familiar with hamsters, and it was a big responsibility. See, you can hold them like this. Does he bite? No, but you have to be very gentle. But he can do tricks too. See? Can I try? Sure. Don’t move. It tickles. He ate the whole carrot. Nah, he’s just hiding it in his cheeks. [Laughter] You can pet him on his tummy like this. [Music] What to play, buddy? [Music] Come on, boys. Time for Caillou to bring Buddy home. Leo, be careful with your hamster. He’s your pet. He’s not a toy. Okay. Caillou is looking forward to bringing Buddy home and taking care of him. Here’s a list for your dad, Caillou. Here we go. [Music] We have to make sure that Gilbert stays far away from Buddy. We want the room to be safe for him. [Music] Let’s see what we have here. Leo said I have to check his food and water.”
“Everything looks fine. Can I play with him now? Buddy’s sleeping right now, Caillou. You should let him rest for a bit. I’m sure he’ll wake up soon. Okay, okay. Caillou watched Buddy very closely. He wanted him to wake up so they could play. Buddy, are you awake? [Music] Are you still sleeping? Caillou thought Buddy had slept enough, and he really wanted to play with him. Come here, boy. Do you want to play? Caillou wasn’t sure what Buddy was doing. He was crawling all over him, and it was making Caillou nervous. Ah, Buddy, no! [Music] Daddy! [Applause] Daddy! [Music] Daddy, Buddy is hiding, and I can’t get him. Did you take him out of his cage? Yes. We better get to Buddy before Gilbert does. Come on. He ran behind here. I can’t see him. We better lock Gilbert up in his cage until we find him. You look for Buddy, okay? I’ll be right back. [Music] Caillou looked and looked everywhere, but there was no sign of Buddy. Any luck? I can’t find him. He’s got to be here somewhere. [Music] Not here either. Don’t worry, Caillou. He can’t be far. We’ll find him, Caillou. There’s something small and furry in my kitchen. Mommy, why are you standing on the chair? Me? Oh, no reason. Where is he, honey? It went under the fridge. [Music] Here, Buddy. Come out. Keep an eye on him, Caillou. I’ll go get his cage. Buddy, come. Caillou wished Buddy would come out. He wondered what he could do to coax him out from under the fridge. Maybe he’ll come if I give him a carrot. Smart thinking, Caillou. He loves carrots. Watch this, Mommy. Here, Buddy. Come and get the yummy carrots. How’s it going, Caillou? I think he’s coming out. He’s out. Okay, let’s put him back in the cage now. I’ll put him back. Good job, Caillou. Oh, but how did Buddy get out? I only wanted to play with him. Playing with him is fine, but you have to make sure that he goes right back into the cage next time, okay? That’s right, sweetie. You’re responsible for him, and it’s your job to keep him safe. Caillou, what do you say we let Buddy really get some rest now? Okay, Daddy. Okay, Gilbert, you can come out now, but you have to stay quiet because Buddy is resting. [Music] Hello, come on in. Hi, Caillou. Hi, Gilbert. Hi, Leo. Buddy ran under the fridge, but I saved him. How did you get him out? With your carrot trick? [Music] You.”
One day, Caillou discovered that his tooth was wiggly. Mommy and Sarah noticed and asked why his tooth was loose.
