HELLO SPRING!
Winter was almost over spring was on its way, and the snow was melting. Caillou’s snowman was starting to melt –
Caillou decided to fix him up again.
“You look much better now Mr. Snowman,” Says Caillou. “Caillou… it’s lunch time!” “Coming! I’ll be
back after lunch,” Caillou says to the snowman.
After lunch, Caillou is ready to play in the snow some more, but there was a big surprise waiting for him. “Oh no!”
Caillou was sad about all the snow melting. He really liked playing in it.
“Hello sweetheart. What’s wrong?” Asks mom. “My snowman melted. The snow is almost all gone.”
“That’s too bad honey, but you know what? That means spring is coming.” “I don’t like
spring, I like winter.” “Oh but there are lots of nice things about springtime! The weather is warmer, the days are longer, the flowers start coming up.” “Pretty flowers!” Says Caillou’s little sister.
“Hmm, why don’t you take off your coat honey. I’m putting away all our winter clothes. We won’t be needing them again until next winter.”
But Caillou didn’t want to put his coat away. He didn’t want winter to be over. He said, “No. I’m gonna play in
the snow some more. “Thanks sweetie.”
The sunshine was nice and warm. It felt good. “What’s up sport?” Asks dad. “My snowman melted.” “All the snow is melting. That’s what happens when springtime comes. “I don’t want spring to come. I want it to be winter all year” “Springs not so bad. Can you give me a hand and hold the bag?” dad asks Caillou. “Sure!”
“The leaves are yucky.” says Caillou. “Yep! That’s why I’m cleaning the place up so it looks nice. And in a few weeks we can plant flowers. “Can we plant the vegetable garden too?” “You bet!”
Caillou remembered how much fun it was to plant vegetables last year. He was looking forward to doing it again.
are you putting them in the garbage this
isn’t a garbage can it’s a composter we
put old leaves and plants and bits of
food in here and after a while it turns
into nice dirt we can put in the garden
to help the plants grow Caillou was very
surprised he thought the leaves turning
into dirt was just like magic
now that I’m all done why don’t you and
I go for a walk we could go to the park
yeah
only let’s get you a lighter jacket you
don’t need your big winter coat anymore
so Caillou put on his spring jacket and
he went with Daddy to the park it felt
good not to wear his thick winter coat
and his mittens and his big scarf
anymore look
that’s a whopping right I didn’t know
you were a bird expert Robin’s have red
tummies we learned that in play school
he’s looking for worms to eat worms
mmm yummy Kentucky
Canada geese
Miss Martin says that all the birds that
went away for the winter come back again
in the spring that’s right and the
animals that sleep through the winter
wake up like bears you bet Caillou is
glad the birds were coming back and the
animals were waking up the snow is gone
for the sandbox
how you like playing in the sandbox he
started thinking of all the other things
he could do now that the snow was gone
