Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot
The now popular TV personality, Caillou has been the focus of numerous books for young children. Caillou: Dress Up! is really a Halloween story in disguise. It is part of the "Scooter" series that offers a spread where kids can place the reusable stickers into the scene to create their own stories. Little sister Rosie doesn't want to put on a clown costume, but Caillou is ready to don his spacesuit and helmet. Then he and Dad head out for an evening of "trick-or-treating." Caillou meets up with some friends and they have a great time. The last stop is home where Rosie's fears are slightly allayed when she recognizes her brother. The art looks like static scenes from computer-generated art and it is printed on sturdy pages with a high sheen. Caillou has many experiences that kids will be able to understand and also share all of his emotions. This book is more of a personal purchase than something for the school or public library. 2001 (orig. 1987), Choutte Publishing,
