My child loved this book and I selected it because the drawings match the cartoon on TV (not all of the Caillou books resemble the show on TV.)

Where do I begin?

First, mommy comes in and yells and the kids to be quiet after using a toy that, presumably, she bought them. Yeah, it's loud and obnoxious, but if you hate it, then take it away, or put in some earplugs, But, I can read between the lines here. Shhhh..... "mommy's got a hangover."

So, mommy goes to sleep it off and asks her 4 year old to watch the 2 year old. Wha? Yeah. Not surprisingly, Caillou isn't really paying attention to her, and Rosie wanders off to go play in traffic or something. Luckily, Rosie doesn't quite get that far and makes it to over to the wall and starts drawing on the wall. Then there's a scuffle between Rosie and Caillou as he tries to take the crayon from her, by force. Everyone cries.

Meanwhile, Mommy's hangover hasn't gotten any better, so she comes in, agitated, and yells at Caillou for being a terrible 4 year old babysitter. She then does what should should have and puts Rosie down for a nap. This is about the only responsible thing she does in the whole story.

Caillou then sits there confused and crying. Then Caillou has to clean the drawing off the wall.

Then they all hug and pretend to be a happy family.

I seriously can't read this story with a straight face. My 3 year old likes it, but it's such a downer of a book.
