About Caillou
"Caillou" is a beloved Canadian children's television series that holds a significant educational value. This series is a beautiful adaptation of the books written by author Christine L'Heureux and illustrated by Hélène Desputeaux. The show is renowned for its unique storytelling style, especially during its first season. The stories were often introduced by a loving grandmother, who would then proceed to read the tale to her captivated grandchildren, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Since 1997, this tradition has been maintained, but the narrator/grandmother character has been kept unseen, allowing children's imagination to fill in the blanks.
The show first graced Canadian television screens in 1998, making its debut on Teletoon. It later made its way across the border, premiering on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in the United States on September 4, 2000, marking its English language debut. The series has enjoyed a long and successful run, with a 5th season released in 2013, and continues to air on PBS Kids. Caillou also made its way to PBS Sprout, further expanding its reach and ensuring that it continues to entertain and educate children.
The show's cast includes the talented Claudia-Laurie Corbeil, who lends her voice to bring the main character, Caillou, to life. Alongside her, Violette Chauveau delivers a standout performance with her dual roles as Mousseline and Clémentine. The cast's performances breathe life into the characters, making them relatable and endearing to the young audience. The show's focus on education, coupled with its engaging storytelling, makes "Caillou" a must-watch for young viewers.
