Most American kids won't ever get this disease now that it's part of routine immunization, so it does make the book seem a little dated. But the kids don't know that, and they certainly can relate to being sick. Caillou comes down with a fever, followed by chicken pox and lots of hot baths. Mommy puts red stickers on his dinosaur so that it "has chicken pox too." At the end, Caillou gets better and gives his dinosaur to his sister Rosie, who of course has caught the chicken pox from him. This is a sweet, real story that even a young child can enjoy...my son is two and he loves it. The stickers are unnecessary...the age of kids who would enjoy this book won't be putting them in the "right" places (but they can be a fun art project).

My grandaughter, under 2, wants me to read it everyday. The pictues in the text teaches her the beginning skills to reading. The stickers are rewards when she is able to read the picture.

My 2 yr. old daughter loves Caillou and was very happy with this book when she opened it on Christmas. She loves the stickers but has taken them off the correct spots and placed them in other areas. I wish they stayed where you put them the first time.

My daughter loved sticking the stickers in the appropriate spots (maybe she is just really into stickers but to find Caillou stickers was so cool for her!) The story is great, the pictures are good (they are the real mom and dad unlike some Caillou books). My daughter loved how it explained Caillou was sick for a little while but got better...good conversation book. Highly recommend.

My daughter, Skyelar, spent all morning putting little red polk a dots all over Caillou! She thought it was so funny-anything that encourages my child to read, it's so important!

My daughter sleeps with this book every night. I've had to repair the cover and pages so many times that I've lost count because she's worn it out so fast! A nice story that helps kids get over some of the fear of being sick.
