Are you familiar with the adorable little boy named Caillou? You can find him at PBS Kids.
Caillou is celebrating a big anniversary this year. The popular children’s series is turning 25 this year. I can’t believe it’s been around that long. I remember my kids watching the show when they were little but I never could have imagined that the show was around for so long.
If you are not familiar with Caillou he’s a four year old boy who lives with his parents and younger sister Rosie. He has a wonderful imagination and is able to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Every day is an adventure for this inquisitive and imaginative little boy.
To celebrate his anniversary, PBS Distribution is releasing today (October 14, 2014) a special 25th anniversary DVD and book gift set. The DVD features “Caillou’s Family Favorites” (14 episodes in total). The beautifully illustrated book has 48 pages and features not one but two stories – Training Wheels and Captain Caillou.
The episodes featured on this special DVD include;
Caillou’s Surprise
- Caillou’s Surprise
- A Surprise for Miss Martin
- A Surprise Sleepover

In addition to these episodes the DVD also contains fun interactive games and coloring pages which are sure to delight any Caillou fan. There is also an option Spanish audio.
As a parent I know that some “kiddie” shows can easily get on your nerves, especially ones which repetitious music or scenes. Caillou is not one of those shows. I find the show to be delightful and charming and I absolutely love Caillou. I always have. I think he’s adorable. We even had a Caillou doll at one point (we either gave it away or it’s packed away in the basement).
The book is a wonderful addition to this gift set. Each page features colorful illustrations and enough text to keep a little ones attention. It’s an easy reader too so older elementary aged children could easily read this on their own.
With the holiday season fast approaching this would be a wonderful gift for the Caillou fan in your life. The set has a suggested retail price of only $14.99. It also runs for about 100 minutes.
Look for Caillou 25th Anniversary DVD & Book gift set where ever movies are sold.
