That's me!

And me!

And me!

And me!

Wheee!

This is so much fun.

Wow!

I have never seen
anything like that before.

What is it?

Snowpeople!

Little snowpeople.

Hello, little snowperson.

My name is Rexy and I live here.

Hello?

Oh, I think they're shy.

Maybe I'm like a giant
and my voice is so loud
they think it's thunder!

Hello?

Oh.

I don't want to scare them.

Wait a minute!

Maybe if I give them some
food, then they'll like me.

Okay, don't go
away, I'll be right back.

-It was one of the
very first days of spring.

The snow was melting,
the flowers were growing,

and Caillou and his family
were outside enjoying it.

-See, there's a
flower poking its nose up to
catch a few rays of the sun!

Now that all the snow
is gone, the flowers can grow.

The snow will be
gone for a long, long time.

-Caillou felt a bit sad
that all the snow was gone.

He loved playing in the snow
and he was going to miss it.

-Gilbert!

-Hi Caillou.

-Look what I found.

-That's the last of the snow.

It will all be melted soon.

-I wish I could keep it.

-Well, if you want to
keep it frozen, you should
put it in the freezer.

-Caillou thought
that was a great idea.

-No room!

I know where!

-Caillou thought of a
perfect place to keep his snow.

-The bathtub!

-Let's get some more!

-Caillou and Sarah brought
up pail after pail of snow until

the tub was filled
with Caillou's very own snow.

-What do you
want to make with it?

-A snowman!

My hands are cold.

-Brr.

Mine too.

-We need mittens!

There!

-Now it just needs
some eyes and a nose.

-Hi kids.

Sarah, your mom was
just calling you in for lunch.

-Okay.

Bye Caillou.

Have fun with the snow.

-Snow?

-Oh.

-Can I have a carrot, mommy?

-Go ahead, honey, lunch
will be a little while.

-Caillou thought his snowman
looked absolutely perfect.

-Caillou! Wash your hands.
Lunch will be ready in a minute!

-After lunch, Caillou
helped Daddy wash the car

and he helped Mommy with supper.

Before he knew it was
time to get ready for bed.

-Hey!

Where did my snowman go?

-A snowman?

In the bath tub?

-I wanted to
keep it until winter.

-But it's time
for the snow to make room
for the grass and flowers.

Spring is a lot of fun too, we
can ride bikes and climb trees.

-I like riding my bike!

-Caillou would miss the snow,
but when he thought about it,

there were a lot of things
he liked about spring too!

-Bye, Mr. Snowman!
See you next year.

-Ah.

The thing about spring
is that you can never remember

how beautiful it really
is until you see it again.

-Oh! Too true.

I'd forgotten completely.

I always have so
much energy in the spring,

I hardly know
what to do with it.

-I think he's got
his mind on something.

-Clearly.

-Oh!

Hi little birdie!

-Caillou was very excited.

He'd seen the Cardinal
before but this morning
he saw something extra special.

-A bird's nest!

And an egg!

Mommy! Daddy!
I found a birds nest!

-Really?

-Come and see!

-In a little bit Caillou.

Right now we have
an important job to do.

It's Spring Cleaning
time, when we clean the
house from top to bottom.

-Can I help?

-Caillou wanted to
help his mommy and daddy

and got straight
to work lending a hand.

-Huh?

-Hi Grandpa!

-Hello Caillou! I've come
to look after you and Rosie.

How about we
go and play outside?

-In a little bit. Right now,
I have an important job to do.

-Okay, Caillou.

You can come outside with me
and help me clean the windows,

while Mommy gets
a start on the kitchen.

-Okay!

-Look Caillou, a Cardinal.
Is that the nest you saw?

-There's an egg inside it Daddy!

-There is?

Well, we'll have
to keep an eye on it then.

-Okay Daddy!

-How'd you like to
clean this window Caillou?

It's just the
right height for you.

-I'll do a good job!

-The first thing we have to do
is get your sponge good and wet.

Okay.

Now wash the window
with the sponge, then put
the sponge back in the water.

-Caillou wanted to do
a good job, so he took his time,

and washed the window
just like his Daddy told him.

-Like this, Daddy?

-Good, Caillou! Next, we dry
the window with a paper towel.

And we're done!

Think you can remember all that?

-Yes!

-Do you want me to
help you with the next one?

-No! I can do it!

I'm washing windows, Gilbert!

Hey, Where's my sponge?

Here it is!

-Caillou tried to remember
everything his Daddy had
shown him about washing windows.

-Gilbert!

You're all wet!

-Caillou thought Gilbert
looked pretty silly.

He wanted to dry him off but
Gilbert didn't like the idea.

-Gilbert!

Gilbert, you made a mess.

-Caillou didn't have
time to talk to the Cardinal.

Right now, he had an
important job to do, cleaning
up the mess Gilbert made.

-Hi Daddy!

Look at me!

I'm raking!

-I thought you were
washing windows, Caillou!

-I was!

Now I'm raking!

Huh.

-I think you've
earned a glass of juice.

-Okay.

Mommy?

-Caillou had already helped
daddy, now it was mommy's turn.

-Caillou!

-Look Mommy!

I'm mopping up!

Hi Daddy.

-Caillou wants
to help outside again.

-Great.

Do you know what happened
to these paper towels?

-Gilbert got all wet from the
bucket but I couldn't find him,

so I raked the
leaves and I mopped up.

I want to be a big help!

-Caillou, it's very
nice that you want to help,

but you need to
finish what you start.

-You know, maybe Caillou
needs his very own chore.

-Caillou liked the idea of
having his very own chore to do.

There was just
one thing troubling him.

-What's a chore?

-Caillou's Mommy and Daddy
explained that a chore is a

special job that someone
does to help around the house.

-And that's how
you make a bed Caillou.

-And making your
own bed can be your chore!

-Can I try it now?

-Sure Caillou.

Here, let me help you.

-No Mommy! I want to do it.

-Making the bed was
Caillou's special chore,

and he wanted
to do it all by himself.

-Okay Caillou. We'll
leave you to do your chore.

-Peek-a-boo!

-Rosie, no!

-Oh, sorry Caillou.

Rosie and I are
playing hide and seek.

Would you like to join us?

-No thanks Grandpa!

I'm doing my chore!

-Oh I see!

Well
I'll make sure Rosie doesn't
disturb you any more, Caillou!

You're busy with important work!

-Gilbert!

Now I have to do my chore again!

Ah!

-Caillou was
proud that he had done such
a good job with his chore.

-Well Caillou. You
really stuck to this chore.

And you did very well.

-Oh!

-Well what do you
know. A baby Cardinal.

-He needs to tidy his nest!

-His Mommy and Daddy
will help him clean up.

-But some day he'll be
old enough to do his own chores.

-Just like me!

-There you are Snowpeople.

See, I just want to be friends.

Oh, you don't
have to be afraid of me.

You might think I'm a big
ferocious dinosaur, but I'm not.

I'm really, really, really nice.

You could ask Gilbert and Teddy.

I've never hurt anybody, ever.

Ah.

Maybe if I go away and come
back, you'll enjoy the crackers.

Okay.

-Springtime just feels like
getting up and doing things.

-I'm dreaming of a catnap
in the golden rays of the sun.

I really should
go out and see if I can find
a sunny dry place to snooze.

-Oh, good idea.

I think I'll come with you.

I don't want to be so
busy getting ready for spring
that I miss it entirely.

Spring!

Spring is walking,
and driveway chalking.

Spring is flowers,
and planting for hours.

Spring is sunshine,
and feeling so fine.

Spring is skipping,
and never tripping.

-Chelsea, look at the
baby leaves and the buds.

They're going to turn
into flowers, and bigger leaves.

See the buds?

-Yeah.

-See them?

Look, here they're bigger.

See?

-Spring is trees,
busy growing leaves.

Spring is playing,
and outdoor all-daying.

Spring is skating
with Daddy waiting.

Spring is gliding,
and up and down riding.

Spring is beautiful,
as you can see,

in a driveway
drawing made by me!

-We're going to run
a few errands together.

With all that rain outside
we have to dress up to keep dry.

-Huh hmmmm.

We can jump in all the puddles.

Uh-oh, this feels funny.

-Here, let me help you.

-It's OK. I want to do it.

Hmmf.

I did it.

-Great.

Need some help
with your buttons?

Let's go.

-But, Caillou had forgotten
something very important.

-Mommy?

-Yes, dear?

-I have to go to the bathroom.

-Oh.

I'll wait for you here.

-Caillou rushed
off to the bathroom.

On his way there, something
caught his attention.

-Vrrroooommm.

phew, watch out.

vrrrooomm.

Vrrroummm. vrrroummm.

-Caillou?

Caillou.

Caillou.

-Daddy.

-What are you doing here?

-I. I was. um.

going to the bathroom.

Oh no, I've got to go now.

I really have to go!!!

Vvvvvvvveeeee.

Daddy look, an airplane.

-May I see your airplane please?

Let's land your airplane
back in the airport, OK?

It'll still be
here when you come back.

And have you
forgotten about Mommy?

-Mommy!

I forgot. Did Mommy wait for me?

-Caillou came back
quickly to meet his Mommy,

but when he got there, she
was putting away the raincoats.

-Mommy. I'm here.
Aren't we going any more?

-Oh no, we're
still going, but look.

-The sun was shining
so Caillou and his Mommy
didn't need raincoats.

But there were
still plenty of puddles.

-This one first.

And this one goes in here.

Mommy.

I think you forgot something.

Yay. Puddles.

Look Mommy.

-I know they're fun,
but we have to run errands now.

-Ohhh.

-You know what we can do though?

We can leave tracks
on our way to the store.

Look.

-Ooooo! What do I
smell that smells so good?

Wow! Somebody left
some crackers out here,
right near the crocuses.

Oh. I guess they
don't want them any more.

Mmm. I'm pretty hungry.

So, um. uh.

I'll take them.

-Oh. I think the Snowpeople
are really afraid.

They're not even moving.

Hmm.

I'll give them a minute.

-The snow is melting.

-Oh yes.

Oh, and this sunny
spot on the porch looks like
a great place for a cat to nap.

Purrfect!

-I think I'll take
a stroll around the garden
and see how spring is doing.

-Ah, see you soon.

It was a beautiful day.

Caillou and his family
were going on a picnic.

-We're almost there, you guys.

-Yeah!

-Caillou had invited
his friend Leo to come too.

-Here, you go.

That's everything we need.

-No it isn't, Daddy.

-What's the matter?
Have I forgotten something?

-Yes.

-What did I forget?

-You forgot the picnic.

-I know. I was just joking.

Why don't you give me a hand?

-It's heavy.

-It won't be so
heavy after the picnic.

-Caillou and Leo led
the way along a forest path.

-It's like being in
your story book about brave

knights and dragons,
isn't it Caillou?

-Yes.

-Caillou always loved going
on picnics with his family.

It was even more fun
with Leo, because they could

go and play after
they finished eating.

-Don't go too far.

-OK, Daddy.

Wow. Look.

-Look at me. I'm a brave knight.

I have a sword.

-Look!

Ugh.

I have a sword too.

-This is the bad dragon.

-Yay. We're fighting
the bad dragon.

-Caillou and Leo loved playing
brave knights and dragons.

-Caillou. Leo.

-Caillou. Leo. Come back here.

-but this game
didn't last very long.

-Oh.

-What's the matter?

Ohhh.

-Let's stop here.

-Rosie's scared of the thunder.

It sounds a bit like
a dragon roaring, doesn't it?

-Mmm.

Look, Rosie.

I'm a brave knight.

This is my sword.

-I'm a brave knight too.

We were fighting a dragon.

-We'll protect you.

Wow.

-Is everything
OK, brave knights?

Are there any more dragons?

-Don't worry. We'll protect you.

-I'll sneak the
eensiest teensiest peek.

Wow! They ate
them, they did eat them!

-Oh, well, we certainly know
it's spring when we can see.

-Stand back! Stand back
Teddy! You'll scare them!

-W-w-what is it?

-The snowpeople.

-The what?

-The little Snowpeople.

Great Gadoodles!
They liked my crackers.

And look at the
pretty hats they have on!

-The.

Snowpeople?

Crackers?

-Uhuh.

Shh, you'll scare them.

-Rexy.

-Shh. You have to whisper.

Your big voice might.

-Rexy?

-Yes?

-You have the best
imagination in the whole wide
world, except for maybe Caillou.

-I do?

-Yes, well, these
are flowers. Crocuses.

-Flowers?

But everybody in the
whole wide world knows that
flowers don't grow in snow.

And they ate my crackers.

-These spring
flowers are growing in the
earth up through the snow.

-Oh, well now
that I look at them, their
hats are a lot like flowers.

But, Teddy,
they ate my crackers.

-Um.

I think Diedi
is enjoying your treat.

-Diedi?

Oh.

-You know Rexy, you
have a fabulous imagination!

Maybe one day you'll be
a writer dreaming up whole books

about such things,
and Caillou and his friends
will read about them.

-Maybe I will.

-And spring is
just the right time to think
new and exciting thoughts.

-Yeah.

-Come back and see me soon!

- Mommy! Ha! Ha!

Mommy is great!

She takes me to
fun places like the beach!

Mommy says it's fun to try
new things.

She likes it when
I draw her pictures.

- It's beautiful, Caillou!
Thank you!

- And I like it when
she tucks me in at night.

Rosie!

She'e my baby
sister and I love her.

We play games together a lot.

And we have fun!

I get to show her things I like.

And sometimes
I help take care of her.

Because I'm her big brother.
