Caillou

Caillou is having fun being noisy, but his Mommy asks him to be quiet. All of a sudden he feels hungry, so he goes off to the kitchen -- where he gets the idea to make some cookies. Only instead of making cookies, he makes a great big gooey, sweet and delicious mess!

Caillou is afraid. He’s afraid of Mr. Hinkle, the kind man who lives next door. He is even afraid of Mr. Hinkle’s house! So when Mr. Hinkle comes to visit to say how sorry he is that Caillou is afraid, Caillou runs away. But it quickly turns into a game of hide and seek and when playtime is over Caillou has made a new friend.

Caillou really hates vegetables until he goes for a walk in the park with his Grandpa, who shows him all kinds of interesting animals and birds. All this activity makes them hungry—as hungry as bears! So when it’s suppertime, they eat just like bears, pretending their vegetables are berries, (leaving just enough room for cookies, of course).

Mom is very busy with the household accounts so she doesn’t have time to play with Caillou. Nor does Dad, who’s trying to fix the washing machine. And Grandma’s busy looking after Rosie. Even Gilbert the cat doesn’t want to play with him. Caillou is all alone and feeling a bit sorry for himself. But pretty soon he invents a game with one of his dinosaurs and then he’s too busy to play with everyone else.

Caillou has left his toys all over the place: on the stairs, in the driveway and even in the bathroom. He has to tidy them all before he can have his chocolate pudding. Part of the problem is that he has so many toys. Mom suggests that he should give some of his old ones to Rosie and Dad suggests that he can make a big toy box. Caillou helps him to make it.

Just like his Daddy, Caillou loves anything to do with cars, so he’s very happy when Dad asks him to help wash the family car. And while he sits in the car, he imagines he’s driving a car to the beach. When he beeps the horn, he surprises Dad, making him accidentally turn the hose on himself. Later on, when the family really goes for a drive to the beach, Caillou is reminded of his imaginary journey.
