Caillou learns that no matter how much Daddy loves him, he doesn't always have time to play with Caillou. This description may be from another edition of this product.
My 22-month old daughter loves this book and asks to read it regularly. It seemed to help her understand and accept more easily that I can't always play with her when she wants. As with the other Caillou books, I edit judiciously as I read so that it more closely reflects our own situation. First, the story focuses almost exclusively on Caillou's relationship with his father; as a single mother, I edit this so that it reflects my daughter's own experience of wanting to spend more time with Mommy. Second, Caillou does a few things in this book (throw pillows for fun, race cars on the kitchen table) that I don't particularly want my daughter copying, so I edit them out as well. I give it five stars based on her enjoyment of it, and the fact that it seems to have helped her deal with the fact that I am not always available to play with her.
