Caillou helps Sarah during a shopping trip; the kids in Caillou's playschool go on a field trip to an apple orchard; Caillou has trouble deciding on a costume for Halloween.
"Caillou Goes Shopping" - Caillou is acting silly, trying to amuse his sister Rosie. It's working pretty well, too. He imagines that he's an actual clown, with a performing seal named Sammy. Next, he decides to draw a picture of a clown for Rosie. At first, he can't find the red crayon. He finally finds it, but it's really worn down and stubby. In fact, all of Caillou's crayons are getting to be like that. Mommy agrees that it's time to go shopping. They go on their shopping trip and Caillou asks if they're going to be buying anything else at the store. Mommy says that they are --- they also need toilet paper, lightbulbs and new socks for Rosie. Mommy wonders if Caillou can remember all that. At first, he has trouble with it, so Mommy suggests making a song out of it. Caillou does this and soon has the shopping list memorized. He's able to recall it perfectly once they're at the store. He helps Mommy to find everything they need, but is a bit disappointed that they're done with their shopping because now there's nothing else to look for. Just then, though, he spots Sarah. She has a list of school supplies, so Caillou asks if he can help her find them. She agrees and Caillou quickly finds everything, even counting the five notebooks that she needs. On the way home, Rosie does a little clowning of her home by wearing her new socks on her ears.
"Caillou Goes Apple Picking" - Caillou's entire playschool class is going on a field trip to an apple orchard. Caillou enjoys riding the bus there. Once they get there, they have some fun finding colored leaves. Miss Martin shows them that apples have different colors too and the colors can indicate if they're ready to be eaten. The kids have a taste test and agree that they like bright red Mcintosh apples the best. Next, they go on a hayride. Once they reach the destination, they pair off for apple picking. Caillou pairs with Leo and together they compete with Clementine and her partner to pick the most apples. Caillou wants to reach an apple way up-high. He asks for a ladder, but gets a step stool. He imagines reaching for a huge apple in a really tall tree. They race for picking the apples ends up being a tie. Next, they head for a barn, where they talk about some of their favorite apple foods with one of the orchard workers, Eric. Caillou happens to be a purist --- he likes apples just the way they are.
"Caillou's Halloween Costume" - Halloween is just around the corner, but Caillou doesn't yet have a Halloween costume. Seeing a bed sheet gives him an idea --- he could be a ghost. Caillou explains to Rosie about Halloween costumes and Mommy suggests that Rosie could be a princess. Caillou, however, apparently isn't satisfied with the ghost idea, as he asks Daddy to help him find a costume. Daddy dresses Caillou in some grown-up clothes. It's a fun idea, but he can't walk around very well in it. There's still a few days left, though. Time passes and Caillou still doesn't have a costume. He decides to go down to the basement, where Daddy paints whiskers on him and makes him into a cat. This idea doesn't really work for Caillou, but it goes into Rosie's costume --- she's now become a "princess / clown / cat." Finally, Caillou stumbles upon the perfect idea for a costume --- a monster. He imagines being a scary monster and picking candy from trees. With Mommy and Daddy's help, Caillou now has a great costume, which really impresses Leo (a cowboy) and Clementine (a bumblebee.)
