“You’re getting to be a big boy, each day I grow some more. I like exploring my way. Growing up is not so tough, except when I’ve had enough, but there’s lots of fun stuff. Shoo, shoo bird, fly away! How you love playing in the dirt. He was finding all sorts of interesting things. Oh, look what I found! Can I keep it, mommy? Why don’t you help me plant some tomato seeds? Good job. Hi birdy, shoo, go away! Shoo! Why did you do that? If the birds eat the seeds we’re planting, there won’t be any vegetables. I thought birds ate worms. They eat worms and seeds. We need a sign for the tomatoes, can I make one? Of course.”
“When Caillou saw Rosie, he thought she looked very funny. Rosie, you’re all white! Rosy baking? Oh, is that what’s going on here? Yep, believe it or not, this will all result in a delicious apple pie. How’s the gardening coming along? I planted tomato seeds, and now I’m going to make a sign for the tomatoes. See, here you go, Caillou. Thank you.”
“Caillou was proud to have made the sign all by himself. I’m going to put it in the garden.”
“Caillou was in a big hurry to put his brand new sign in the garden. The birds ate more seeds. Hmm, let’s make a scarecrow to keep the birds away. What’s a scarecrow? Come on, I’ll show you.”
“Mommy had found some old clothes that were perfect for their scarecrow. What is a scarecrow? A scarecrow is a man made out of sticks with a hat and clothes, and he stands out in the garden. How will that keep the birds away? If you were a bird and saw a strange person in the garden wearing all these funny clothes, wouldn’t you fly away? Yeah, good pick. Now we’ll need some pants. He needs a face. Can you draw a scary face? Yeah, scary like this. Yikes!”
“Caillou thought he could be an excellent scarecrow himself.”
“Stay away, birds! Stay away, birds!”
“Hey, it worked! I’m a good scarecrow.”
“That was a big bird. Whoa, shoot!”
“That was the biggest bird of all. Wow!”
“Look, mommy, a scary scarecrow face!”
“That’s very good, Caillou. Now let’s go put our scarecrow together, yeah.”
“Caillou couldn’t wait to see the finished scarecrow. I can help.”
“Thank you, honey.”
“Caillou couldn’t believe his eyes. The scarecrow looked like a real person.”
“But there were still a few things missing.”
“You know, Rosie, your pie plates could help the scarecrow make noise.”
“I think we’re almost done. Hmm, and I think something else is almost done.”
“Apple pie! Oh, look, the birds are coming back.”
“It works! The scarecrow scared them away.”
“Good, that means our carrots and tomatoes will grow. They’re gonna grow really, really tall.”
“Up over my head? Really?”
“That big? Yep, the tomatoes will be this big and the carrots will be as big as our car.”
“We could put wheels on it and drive around in our carrot car.”
“And then we can eat it. This steering wheel is delicious.”
“Caillou’s road trip. Caillou’s road trip.”
“One Saturday morning, Daddy suggested it might be a great day for a drive.”
“Where are we going to drive to, Daddy?”
“Oh, I don’t know. You don’t know?”
“Nope, we’ll just drive and see what we can find.”
“Caillou thought it was strange not to know where you were driving to. He wondered what they would find.”
“Here we go! Who wants to play a game? I do.”
“Okay, for this game, you have to look for a red barn. Hmm.”
“There’s one! I see a red barn. Good! Now, how about a white car? Car, car! It’s a car, Rosie, but it’s black, not white. A white car! White car! Now, let’s look for cows. Caillou was first to see the cows, but he wanted to let Rosie call it out. Watch for cows, Rosie. Cows! Way to go, sweetie. Soon, it was time to stop for lunch and fill up the car with gas. Is the gas going in the car now, Daddy? Yep. Those numbers show us how much gas is going in. It’s a lot. Gas is like food for the car. The gas makes the car go. We’re going to have lunch, and the car is having lunch too. You got it. Wow, look at the truck, Daddy! Can we go and see it, please? Sure, let’s go. Caillou likes big trucks, and this one was really nice and shiny. Caillou imagined what it would be like to drive a big, big truck like this one. I’m truck driver Caillou. Hmm, that sign means that deer crossed the road here. I’d better slow down. Bye-bye, duck crossing. Hmm, wow, hippo crossing. Excuse me, can you let me through, please? Thank you. Bye-bye. Okay, truck driver Caillou, it’s time to get some grub. Okay. In the restaurant, Rosie sat in a high chair, but Caillou got to sit in the booth like a big boy. He could even pick out what he wanted on the menu because it had pictures.”
“I’d like a cheese sandwich, please. What would you like to drink, Caillou? After lunch, they drove some more. Caillou was starting to get tired of driving. Caillou, look up ahead. Is that a ferry boat? Are we going on it? You bet! Caillou had never been on a ferry boat before. Can I go look at the boat? Not yet. We can’t get out of the car until we hear the horn. That’s loud. One, two, three, four, five cars. This is just a little ferry. There are big ferry boats that can carry a hundred cars. Wow! Look, Daddy, the birds are following us. Those are seagulls. Caillou, look, it’s the captain. Welcome aboard! The ferryboat captain showed Caillou the control of the boat, and when they got close to the shore, he even let Caillou blow the horn. So, Caillou, did you enjoy your very first ferry boat ride? Yeah, especially the horn. Rosie slept through the whole ferry ride. That’s okay because I can tell her about it when she wakes up. Caillou thought about all the nice surprises they had found today: the cows and the gas pumps and the big truck and the restaurant where he ordered for himself, and the ferry boat with the loud, loud horn. Caillou decided he liked car trips, especially when they didn’t know where they were going. A car trip. Are you Rosie? Let’s get in the car. Time to go. I’m so excited because we’re taking a trip, but Daddy won’t tell me where. Come on, everybody, put your safety belt on. It’s gonna take a little while to get there. It’s fun to count the cars one by one. Tell me all the colors you see. There’s a blue car, a red truck, a motorcycle, and look, he’s waving at me. We’re driving in the car, car, car. We’re going very far, far, far. You know where we are? Yes, we’re driving in the car. Look, Daddy, a trip to the country, a trip to the city, a trip to really cool places. A car trip can be so much fun, meeting new friends and interesting faces. We’re driving in the car, car, car. We’re going very far, far, far. Caillou and the Dragon. Caillou and the Dragon. It was a special day at Caillou’s play school. A young boy named Alan was coming to visit. Now, everyone, I’d like you to meet a new friend, Alan. Hi! Alan has come to find out what play school is all about. If he likes it, he may be attending. Come on, Alan, we’ll show you around. Yeah, come on. How old are you? I’m five. I’m only four, but I’m getting older every day. Me too.”
“I’m climbing. Hold on here and step up here to pull yourself up. Now swing your legs over. I did it! Look at me, I’m swinging. I’m swinging too. I can help. Whoa, hold on. Do this, Ellen. Mom, look, I’m really swinging. Caillou wondered why Alan was having so much trouble with climbing and swinging. After all, Alan was a whole year older. Alan and his mom brought a special treat, brownies for the whole class. Everyone enjoyed them very much. Miss Martin, Alan is older than I am. Why can’t he do the things I can do? Some things are hard for him to learn, and he might need a little more practice. I’m so happy to see what a big helper you’re being to Alan. I bet there are some things he can do even better than I can. I’m sure you’re right. Let’s make up a play. I’m going to the jungle to take pictures of wild animals. I’ll be the driver. I’ll drive a jeep. What will you be, Caillou? How? You wondered what Alan was going to dress up as. Come on, Caillou, let’s plan our play. Soon they were ready to show everyone their play. I’m going to Africa to take pictures of wild jungle animals. I’m the driver. Here we go. Wait for me. I’m a wild animal. Take my picture. I’m a dragon. Dragons don’t live in the jungle. They live in fairy tales. Look, this dragon is visiting the jungle for the very first time. A dragon in the jungle. I’d better take a picture of him. Oh, still dragon. It’s okay. Hey, dragon, look at him. I am a magic dragon tamer, and I will tame the dragon. Little dragon, you can be good. You are a good little dragon. Oh, you don’t have to be bad and scared. People, everyone wants to be your friend. Yay! The dragon is not tame. He’s going to take me for a dragon ride. Take a picture, Clementine. We’re flying. Yay, yay, yahoo! We’re flying. I found out what Alan is really good at, acting. He certainly is. And I found a couple of things you were very good at, Caillou. You did? You’re a good dragon tamer, but you’re also an excellent friend. I love play school. Alan’s first day of play school turned out to be so much fun. Everyone hoped to see him back again.”
“When Caillou saw Rosie, he thought she looked very funny. Rosie, you’re all white! Rosy baking? Oh, is that what’s going on here?
