==About the show==
The show is about a young boy named Caillou who lives with his mom, Doris; his dad, Boris; his little sister, Rosie; and his pet cat, Gilbert. Mr. Hinkle lives next door to Caillou's house and Caillou has a babysitter named Julie. In the first season, Caillou was 4 years old and wore a light gray t-shirt in season 1, but later, he wore a golden yellow t-shirt in season 2, 3, 4, and 5. In season 4 and 5, Caillou started going to pre-school. Many parents have criticized the show, due to Caillou's behavior.

==Broadcast airs==
The series originally aired on [[PBS Kids]] in the United States and [[Teletoon]] in Canada.
