4.0 out of 5 stars Caillou Gets Into Mommy's Makeup, January 21, 2006

This review is from: Caillou and Rosie's Doll (Paperback)

This book, "Caillou and Rosie's Doll" is a fully illustrated retelling of one of the stories from the television show. Caillou sees his Mommy putting on makeup one morning. He's curious about it, but Mommy warns him not to play with it.

Caillou is still fascinated by the whole makeup idea. When Julie the babysitter comes over, he and Rosie play with her for a while, but then Rosie goes off for a nap. Caillou ends up with Rosie's doll and gets the idea to paint a face on her using his paints. He ends up getting caught and worries about getting in trouble.

Overall, a pretty good release that mainly follows the television plot. If you or your kids like Caillou, then you'll probably like this well enough. If not, then nothing to see here.

This review is from: Caillou: And Rosie's Doll (Backpack Series) (Hardcover)

This Caillou story does a decent job of teaching actions/consequences when Caillou takes an interest in his mom's make up after watching her putting some on herself. He colors on the face of Rosie's favorite doll mimicing his mom putting on her make up and immediately realizes he was wrong in doing so. He is sorry and helps to clean up the doll good as new for Rosie.
