This dvd is great. My son is a huge Caillou fan and he saw all the episodes in this dvd but the great thing is those annoying puppets are not there, just nonstop Caillou. Some parts of this dvd are also taken from the Caillou holiday movie. One more dvd for the collection!

A solid Caillou video that keeps my daughter entertained for as long as I let her watch it. There are no puppets, so I don't need to be nearby to skip the skits and continue to Caillou cartoons.

I gave this to my 3 1/2 year old son for Christmas in 2008 and he loves watching it. He started belting out "Dreidl dreidl dreidl" one day and I thought he had learned it from preschool, but no, from the Caillou holiday party segment. The songs about "practice makes perfect" and "make each day special" are great-to the point and catchy. My 19 month-old twins also love Caillou because of this DVD. I love the fact that there are several individual stories about winter--all nice little narratives, and Caillou is shown imagining all kinds of adventures while going about daily life. It really captures a child's imagination.

My three kids (ages 3, 2, and 11 mo) all love Caillou, especially my son (the two-year-old). I love that the stories are realistic, but still very, very sweet. Caillou isn't always perfect, but he tries very hard to be a good boy, and my kids are able to see him effectivly resolve the problems that he occasionally encounters. For example, sometimes his sister, Rosie, gets on his nerves, but he deals with it and moves on. One of the things that I really like about the whole Caillou series are the realistic bodies of the adult characters. They aren't drawn like Jessica Rabbit, but rather like most adults who actually have kids (a little lumpy here and there).

This is 100% animated Caillou features! No more of that stupid puppet segments! Has kid friendly situations where they can relate to because Caillou & kid sister is certainly not perfect but willing to learn as they go through everyday life!

My son loves Calliou and has watched this video many, many times. Calliou teaches patience, imagination, and community.

My daughter LOVES Caillou, and this is one of her very favorite DVDs. Some of the Caillou DVDs have puppet segments in them which she does not care for...this one does not have those silly unrelated clips in it, just Cailou! The stories are particularly exciting for her too. She goes bananas for the DVD.

Great DVD. It does not have the breaks in the movie like a lot of the other DVD's have which my children love that. They hated the puppet show type skips in between each portion of Caillou. Great DVD. Super fast shipping. Thanks.

Love this DVD. It has some of my son's favorite Caillou episodes. Most of the episodes are ones that aren't frequently played on Sprout. There are also no annoying puppets in between episodes. My only complaint is that there are commercials in the beginning of the DVD. I would prefer to get a DVD without commercials because I see plenty of those on TV. Overall, a nice purchase.

The Caillou series is perfect for introducing children to experiences they are likely to encounter as a toddler. The family values and situations presented in the dvd are great at highlighting positive solutions without dwelling on the negative (i.e. there are no villians that encourage bad habits). The children and religions (as represented during the winter holidays)are diverse and allow identification with various children -- both girls and boys.
