Caillou At the Beach ANNOTATION
The "Scooter series lets children "keep up" with Caillou and the adventures they've seen in the animated Caillou television series produced by CINAR Corporation - with an added twist! After reading the book, children can re-enact the story by placing the full-color stickers on a special background image in the middle pages of the book. Once all the stickers have been used, children can narrate their own version of the story! Caillou is at the beach and there are so many things to see and do!
FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot
The now popular TV personality, Caillou, has been the focus of numerous books for young children. At the Beach 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. It demonstrates how delightful a seashore outing can be�swimming, picnicking, building a sand castle and just observing the creatures in a tide pool�are a few of the things that Caillou experiences. 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. 2003, Choutte Publishing Ages 3 to 6.
