About the book
Caillou is learning all about Christmas preparations and traditions not only in his own home but in other countries around the entire globe as well. He is surrounded by a flurry of Christmas engagement that his whole family is invited to participate in.
His mom is busy writing Christmas cards to send to family and friends and his dad surprises him with an advent calendar so he can track how many sleeps until that exciting special day arrives. He discovers as he opens each window on this calendar a unique story of the how Christmas customs came to be.
Caillou is invited to his friend Sarah's Christmas pageant, helps decorate the family tree, gives away some of his gently-used toys to charity and learns that Christmas is all about the importance of family, giving, sharing and waiting patiently (and productively) for an exciting day to arrive!
The illustrations are bright, crisp, vibrant and detailed. They add so much enrichment to the story and are beautifully done. This book is part of the Caillou series which I encourage you to check out. This book is wonderful and I endorse it whole-heartedly.
