Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Caillou is growing up, and the Compass series grows right along with him. The theme of each book reflects Caillou's - and readers' - growth and corresponds to appropriate stages of child development, as Caillou experiences new situations and becomes more aware of his independence. Created with the input of a child psychologist, the Compass books can also help children to understand and express their feelings while encouraging parents to talk to children about their emotions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Chocolate Cookies Are For Dessert, June 12, 2001

Anyone with a picky eater will enjoy this book. While it certainly didn't improve my son's picky eating habits, it brings a smile to his face each time we read it! However, I would have appreciated more encouragement for children to "eat your vegetables" and save the chocolate cookies for dessert.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor example, February 17, 2011

This review is from: Mealtime (Caillou) (Board book)

"Caillou thinks the food tastes awful. And that his mommy and daddy are awful too." This is the kind of attitude represented throughout this book. Not only is this a poor example, it is never confronted or dealt with as such. I will not be getting any more Caillou books if this is the kind of material being presented for kids.
