Santa brought this DVD for our near-3 year old as she loves to watch Caillou on PBS. Now, I understand that it is a Canadian production - I used to live in Canada, and I'm well attuned to the differences between American and Canadian programming.
However, I have to honestly say that I have never seen, nor never wish to see again, the multiple silly (read: idiotic) segments that take place between Caillou episodes. Dancing children with someone singing (sounds like the person who voices Caillou), a little girl going on a car ride with her mother, etc.
My daughter kept coming over to me and asking "Where's Caillou? I wanted to watch Caillou?"
I wanted to say "Well, honey, Santa obviously messed up big time with this one..."
If you want all Caillou, which I'm guessing all Caillou fans want, this is not the video for you. We are/were very disappointed, and this will sadly make it onto either eBay or into the back of our media cabinet. |

| I got this for my Grandson for Christmas. He is 2 1/2 and every time he comes to my house we have to make time for Caillou. That is about the only time he will actually sit on the couch with me and he is just so engrossed in the stories. I am sure he will love being able to watch Caillou anytime he wants now. |

| My 21 month old loves Caillou so we needed something a little longer lasting than the 30 minutes on TV. She especially loves the title song - dances all over the living room singing to the best of her abilities. The stories are cute, too, teaching manners and morals. A good learning tool. |

| We were so tired of watching the three DVD's our 2 year old had - this has been a nice treat for the whole family. Plus it inspired us to take a real train ride. |

My 3.5 year old daughter absolutely adores Caillou -there is something about this little bald-headed 4 year old boy with an unusual name and a boisterous personality that just captivates her. The DVD here contains the following episodes: We All Love to Travel, Caillou the Explorer, Caillou's Sailboat, Caillou's Train Trip, Exploring the Neighborhood, New House, New Neighbors, Garage Sale, and Supper with Sarah.
The stories themselves are interesting and educational. My only grouse is the puppet segment where we have Caillou's stuffed dino, and pet cat Gilbert among others doing their own thing. It is quite annoying, and my daughter doesn't care much for them. I think they've cut those segments out in the more recent Caillou stories on PBS [thank goodness!], but this DVD still has those segments. Yet, it's nothing a fast forward button can't help, and I would still recommend the Caillou series for young children, especially the 2-4 age group. |
