Caillou

Summertime (2x202)

: 05, 2000

It’s summertime, and Caillou and his family are making the most of the season with days at the beach, a camping trip in the woods, and even a wonderful day at a theme park. Rexy, Teddy, and Gilbert are determined not to be left out, and plan a great picnic of their own. It would be a real summer treat, except the puppets forget one little thing: food! Caillou will never forget swimming and building a sandcastle with Dad; spotting a moose near their campsite; and whirling on the theme park rides. But maybe the best day of all is the one when Mom perks up a hot afternoon in the backyard with a homemade waterfall: the lawn sprinkler! In the puppet segments, everyone is fall asleep, until Teddy wakes up and notices what a beautiful day it is. He starts yelling about it, waking Gilbert and Rexy up. The puppets start talking about how to celebrate and Teddy realizes that he has no idea what to do. They decide on a picnic, but at first forget the most important thing: food. Things work out though and everyone's dreams come true. Meanwhile, Caillou and his family enjoy the various pleasures (and experience some of the problems) of summer. "Caillou at the Beach" Lifted from the original series. Caillou's family goes to the beach. It's Caillou and Rosie's first time. Caillou goes into the water with his Daddy. He has a picnic with his family, but a seagull steals his sandwich. He follows a crab to the sea and sees lots of sea creatures. Then, he builds a sand castle with his Mom. Finally, the tide comes in and they have to leave for the time being, but they'll come back the next day (and the next day and the next day...) "A Camping We Will Go!" (title: "Camping in the Wild- Caillou Style") Caillou and his family are on the road and like any typical kid, Caillou asks his Mom to stop to use the bathroom. Rosie notices Mommy and Caillou's absence and starts crying, waking up Daddy, who ends up having to go too. Caillou notices a moose crossing sign and asks about it. He says that he hopes to see a moose. They reach the campsite and meet Pierre, who tells them about all the great things they can do, but also notes that it's rare to see moose because they're afraid of humans. Caillou learns about not feeding wild animals, goes mountain climbing, sleeps outside in a hammock and in the end sees his moose. Rosie scares the moose away, but no one gets upset and everyone has a good laugh. "Slippery when wet" (A42 WIP title: "Caillou Goes Swimming... Or Not") Caillou's all dressed up to go swimming, but Mom and Dad are too busy to take him. He goes outside, but not before Mom makes him put on sunscreen. He ends up having water fun anyway, via sprinkler. "Caillou Goes to a Theme Park" Lifted from the original series. Caillou and the family go to a theme park. Caillou rides a water ride with his Dad and the whole family stops for cotton candy. They all ride the ferris wheel. Then Caillou notices a ringtoss game with a huge bear as a prize. Caillou's Dad plays and wins the bear.
