Caillou
Food-a-Licious (2x208)
:
Caillou begins to realize how many yummy things there are to eat. First, a visit to a farm teaches Caillou where eggs come from. Then, a walk in the park with Grandma lifts Caillou’s low opinion of vegetables when he sees how much birds and animals love them. Veggies get a further boost when Grandpa shows Caillou how to plant carrots, and he finds that nursing his plants gives them great new flavor. Caillou gets another taste treat at dinner at Sarah’s house, along with a lesson in how to use chopsticks. But not even chopsticks can help Rexy, Teddy, and Gilbert. The puppets’ best-laid plan to eat each other’s food goes awry when they find they only like their own. But there are no hurt feelings and it’s bon appetit all 'round.
Puppet segments: Rexy, Teddy and Gilbert makes treats for each other. When the meals are revealed, they are disappointed at what they have in front of them: Rexy has something made of grass, Teddy made cupcakes, and Gilbert made something with fish. Teddy and Rexy eventually give in and try each other's, but no one tried Gilbert’s because it smells bad.

“Caillou Grows Carrots” Lifted from the original series. Caillou's grandpa is over helping Caillou's mom make a vegetable patch. He gives Caillou a special mission: to grow carrots on the vegetable patch. Caillou wonders where the carrots are, and he's told that he has to plant the seeds and water them to make them grow into carrots. Caillou plants the seeds and gives them water, but nothing sprouts. Caillou is then told it'll take all summer. So, he waits, checking on the carrots every day and chasing off any possible threat to the carrots. Finally, the day to pick the carrots has come. Caillou runs out and check, only to find leaves again. But his grandpa gives those leaves a tug, and out pops some bright red carrots. Later that day, Caillou eats the carrots. And even though he still hates vegetables, he think that the carrots were pretty good.
