"Caillou makes new friends on his first day at day care"--P. [4] of cover.

Caillou is going to day care for the first time. Naturally, he would prefer to stay home with Mommy and Daddy rather than face this unfamiliar world. However, with the help of Florence, one of the day care assistants, Caillou eases into his new environment and soon makes a friend. Around three years of age, a child needs playmates. He wants to become more independent, which means he must leave the protective security of his parents, his house, and his family. Often this separation occurs in connection with day care. Leaving the security of his family unit is difficult and frightening for the child and it is important to help him prepare for this first step toward greater independence.

A spaghetti dinner and a lot of giggling result in Caillou getting the hiccups. Daddy thinks he knows how to cure them, and together, they embark on a series of hiccup-curing trials. But none of them seem to work! Mommy insists the hiccups will go away on their own - as long as Caillou doesn’t make a big deal of them, and she’s right!

The house is bustling in anticipation of a Thanksgiving feast, and Caillou dreams of all the things he’ll eat at his favorite meal. Yet today he will discover that there is more to the holiday than delicious food—it’s about being thankful for the good things and important people in his life. Capturing the precious memories and emotions of the holiday season, toddlers will learn about the deeper meaning of Thanksgiving in this vividly illustrated story. Also available in trade cloth/hardcover (ISBN: 978-2-89718-021-8)
