My Thoughts:
I can't believe that Caillou is celebrating 25 years. Where did the time go? I remember watching this when I used to babysit my neighbors back in middle and high school. I liked the show then, and now get to watch it today with my girls. If you have seen this popular animated preschool series on PBS Kids, then you know that it is all about a little 4-year old boy named Caillou, who is curious about growing up and learning through exploration. Each of the 14 episodes included on this new DVD release are perfect for preschoolers and even toddlers, and keep little ones engaged for the duration of each adventure-filled episode.
Whenever my girls watch Caillou, they spend hours afterwards trying to recreate scenes from the show, talking to one another about what they saw and how cool it would be if they could do the same thing, or simply let their imaginations wonder as they, too, pretend just like Caillou does.
Being a fan of this series, I was happy to have received a review copy of the special 25th anniversary gift set, which includes both a 14-episode DVD with bonus features, as well as a special edition double storybook to share with the girls. When we aren't enjoying the fun-filled episodes featuring everyone's favorite four year, Caillou, the girls have me reading the special storybook to them, which features "Captain Caillou" and "Training Wheels." The first of the two stories is also included as a full-length episode on this DVD, which makes it fun to compare the story to the episode.
If you have a Caillou fan in your house, or are getting a jump start on your holiday shopping, why not consider picking up this special limited edition DVD and Book set to commemorate 25 wonderful years of this hit preschool series for kids, which is sure to be around for years to come.
