That's me!

And me!

And me!

And me!

Sigh.

-Teddy! Teddy! Wanna play catch?

Okay, I'm not
very good at catch.

Oh, how about we
play kick the ball? Hmm?

Teddy, Teddy, puzzles?
You love puzzles?

Okay, okay. Maybe later. Okay?

-Sigh.

-When the family is out all day,
I get lots of time to write.

Now what shall I write about.

Hmmm... Ah!

Ode to a puzzle piece.

No.

Doesn't quite inspire me.

Oh!... Could work.

Ha ha!

Ode to a Dirty Sock.

Eww!

I don't think so.

Oh, ode to A Half Eaten Cookie.

No.

Maybe there's something
more inspiring outside,

something that
will give me a good idea.

We poets need good ideas.

Mommy.

...I think I can be there,
but I'll have to check my diary.

Uh-huh...

-Mommy. Rosie did something.

-Caillou, I'm on the phone.

You're interrupting me.

You'll just have to wait.

-It seemed to Caillou that
his Mommy didn't have any time

for him, because she'd
been on the phone all morning.

-OK. Yes, please
phone back right away.

Bye. I'll be
waiting for your call.

Now what was it you
wanted to tell me, honey?

-Rosie tore up a book.
You have to come and see.

-Just a second, Caillou...

Hi. Yes...

I've been expecting your call.

Just a second...

I'm really, really busy, honey.

Why don't you go and play now?

And I'll talk to you later. OK?

-Look at my drawing, Mommy.

-OK. That'll be fine.

Bye, now.

Hi honey...

Let's see...

I'm sorry, Caillou.

I'm very busy on
the phone this morning.

But I'll be finished soon, OK?

-Caillou really
wanted to talk to his Mommy,
so he decided to phone her.

-Mommy. Mommy. I phoned
you. And the phone rang.

-Why don't you
answer it this time?

-Hi. It's me. Caillou.

-Caillou loved
answering the phone.

It made him feel very grown up.

-It's Grandma,
Mommy. It's Grandma.

-Ask her how she is.

-Hi, Grandma. How are you?

-I'm fine, Caillou. How are you?

-I'm fine.

-I was calling
to ask if you'd like to come
and see me this afternoon.

-Wow. Yes.

-Come on in.

-Hello Caillou.

You remember my friend's
puppy, don't you Caillou?

-Yes, Grandma.

-Why don't you and
Rosie play with the puppy

while Grandma and I have a chat?

-Grandma. Look
at the dog. He's jumping.

-Don't run, Rosie.
He's getting too excited.

Just be gentle.

-kay Grandma.

-Oh, Oh. I'm sorry.

I can't talk right now.
I'll have to call you back.

This little puppy does
that every time the phone rings.

-Why?

-He's afraid I'll
forget all about him when

I'm talking to someone
else on the phone.

-That sounds a bit
like a little puppy I know.

-What are you laughing about?

-It's a funny story.

But I think I'll
let Caillou tell you...

-It's a very
funny story, Grandma.

Ode to a Warty Toad.

No.

Ah! Ode to an Old Stick.

No, no, no, no, no.

Ode to A Sad Teddy Bear.

Teddy,

what's wrong?

Hello

from an Ode-writing
cat to Teddy?

This is not good.

Teddy bears are
supposed to be happy.

I want to get Mommy a present,

but I just can't
think of what she'd like.

Can you think
of anything, Caillou?

-No, Daddy.

-Looks like you need a hand.

Hold onto the
Rosie-mobile, please!

-Hi, Caillou!
Look at our picture.

-Can we get one too, Daddy?

-Perfect!

-Perfect?

-Yes! That would make
a fantastic present for Mommy!

What a great idea!

-Are those umbrellas?

-Yes. They're for the flash.

They make the
light bounce all around.

Why don't we make this
photo a surprise for Mommy, OK?

-Caillou thought
that was a very good idea.

-OK, Daddy.

-But that means we
have to keep it a secret.

Think you can do that?

-Yes.

-We mustn't tell
Mommy about it at all.

We don't want to
spoil the surprise, do we?

So we... zip our lips.

OK?

-Hi everybody, I'm Bryce!

OK, now, how about you
two give me a great big smile?

-Wahhhhhhh!

-Hmmm, I don't think
we got it that time.

Let's do another one.

Smile please!

-WAAAHHHHH!

-Hmmm... We need to find
a way to make Rosie smile.

-Caillou thought he knew
a way to make Rosie smile.

-Rosie likes this!

-Maybe if I stand by
the camera and show it to her.

Watch the dinosaur, Rosie!

-Perfect!

You can come back here
and pick up the photo tomorrow.

-Let's go you-know-where
to pick up you-know-what!

-Are you two ever going
to tell me your big secret?

-It's a pho-

-Uh-oh!

-It's
a surprise, Mommy. If we tell
you, it won't be a surprise.

-Caillou felt very proud that he
had kept the surprise a secret.

-And I don't suppose you're
going to tell me, either!

-Why don't you come with us?

-To you-know-where?
To pick up you-know-what?

Oh, thank you!
I love my present!

It was a very
good surprise, too.

Thank you for keeping it secret.

-And now that we don't have
to keep it a secret any more,

we can un-zip our lips!

Caillou
was so happy to be in the
park on such a beautiful day.

-Look Mommy! I'm swinging!

-Wow!

You're going to touch
the tree tops pretty soon.

-Push me!

-Me too!

-Ready?

-Yeah!

-I'm going to
play in the sandbox!

-Okay. Rosie and
I will be right over here.

-Caillou wanted to play with the
boy, but he felt a little shy.

-Can I play?

Caillou didn't understand
why the boy was ignoring him.

-Hello?

Mommy! The boy ran away!

-Let's go back and see
what was the matter, okay?

That's a pretty big castle.

Hi, nice to meet you.

This is Caillou and Rosie.

-It's nice to meet you
too. This is my son Robbie.

We just moved
to the neighborhood.

-He won't play with me.

-It's not that Caillou.

Robbie didn't see
you come up behind him.

He was surprised when you tapped
his shoulder because he's deaf.

-What's deaf Mommy?

-Well, deaf is -
when you're ears don't work

and you can't hear
like other people can.

-It's kind of
like when you're wearing

earmuffs and
can't hear that well.

-Caillou didn't really
understand what they meant,

all he knew was
that he wanted to play.

-I'm going to make a big hole!

-Okay. We'll be right over here.

-Can I use your shovel?

-Caillou thought
that if he spoke louder,
maybe Robbie would hear him.

-CAN I USE YOUR SHOVEL?

-Caillou tried to show
Robbie what he wanted to do.

-Stop that!

Let go!

Mommmy!

-What is it Caillou?

-He's not letting
me dig my hole!

-Why don't you try helping
Robbie build his castle.

I bet it would be really good if
you both worked on it together.

-Here.

-Caillou
and Robbie were starting
to have fun playing together.

He didn't understand why Robbie
was moving his fingers around.

He thought it was a game.

-Wheee!

Woah!

Owwwww!

-Caillou!

-Are you alright?

-I fell off the see-saw!

Caillou didn't hurt himself.
But he was very upset.

-You're okay now.
How about a ice-pop?

Would that make you feel better?

-Yes!

Pink! I want pink!

-One cherry
and one orange please.

Mommy, what's Robbie doing?

-I think he's saying it's cold.

-Want to trade?

Can Robbie come over
to our house and play?

-Sure, if it's
okay with his mommy.

-That's a nice idea Caillou.

-How about tomorrow afternoon?

-Great. See you then.

It was nice meeting you Caillou.

Bye!

-Bye!

Bye Robbie!

Mom, what was Robbie
doing with his fingers?

-That's "sign language".

Some deaf people
use their hands to talk.

-Cookie!

-That must be Evelyn

-and Robbie!

-Hi everyone!

-Hi!

Come on!

-Robbie loves to draw.

Do you like drawing
pictures Caillou?

-That's a rocket ship!

I'm going to be a space man!

I want that one!

-Caillou felt bad that
he had broken Robbie's crayon.

He tried to stick it back
together, but it didn't work.

Caillou
tried to copy what Robbie
was doing, but it was hard.

Gilbert!

We're cats!

Meow! Meow!

Look! A bird!

-Caillou and
Robbie were having so much
fun pretending to be cats

and birds that they
didn't ever want to stop.

-Hey you two! We hate to
interrupt, but it's time to go.

-No! I want Robbie to stay.

-Don't worry Caillou. Robbie
will come back and visit soon.

Or maybe you can come
over to our house next.

-What's he saying?

-That's the sign for friend.

Robbie is saying
that you are his friend.

You sign the word like this.

-Look Robbie!

-Caillou felt happy
that he had made a new friend,

and proud that he learned how
to say it in a whole new way.

These
puzzles are a whole lot easier
to put together with Teddy.

-Rexy, come quick! We've
got a teddy bear crisis!

-Oh , ah, ah, A crisis, great!

What's a crisis?

-It means something's wrong with
Teddy and we need to help him.

Come on.

-Oh, okay. It's true.

He was looking kind of-

Tired.

-Words aren't the
only way to give a message.

-Afraid.

-I know, cold

-My Grandmother is lonely today.

I'm going to surprise
her and let her know

I'm thinking about her.

I'm going to send my message by
fax so she'll get it right away!

Did you get my drawing?

-I'll see.

Oh, isn't that nice.

I think it's a bunny rabbit.

-I don't think
she's lonely any more.

Bye Grandma!

Hot.

Don't know.

Coming.

It isn't always
easy to send a message.

Sometimes it's really hard.

But no matter
how you give a message,

being understood
is always worth it!

I've never seen it this bad.

-It's happened before?

-Once the family
went away for two weeks

and there was no
room to take Teddy along.

Teddy couldn't take it.

He missed Caillou and

I have to say
Caillou missed him too.

-Oh this is bad.

-Oh, yes.

-Gilbert, what's
the name of the book?

-Taking Care of Teddies.

Ah, ah here it is.

If the bear just sits and sighs.

-That's Teddy, that's
exactly what he's doing.

-Okay, well let's
see, it says here...

There's only one thing to do.

-Oh oh.

I hope we can do it.

-Oh Caillou!

Come on in. You're soaking wet.

-I like the rain mommy.

I jumped in all the puddles!

I'm cold.

-Let's get you out of these wet
clothes and into something dry.

Well that's good,
you don't have a fever.

-My throat feels scratchy Mommy.

It hurts.

-Hmmm, maybe we should
give you some medicine
for that scratchy throat.

-I don't want to.

I don't like medicine.

-Here, try it,
it tastes like grapes.

Caillou, this will help
make your throat feel better.

Please try.

-Ow! It hurts Mommy!

-Caillou didn't
want to take the medicine,

but he didn't want
his throat to hurt either.

-There! That
wasn't so bad right?

Now I want you to
head straight to bed and get
a good nights sleep, okay?

-The next morning, not only was
Caillou's throat still scratchy,

but he found he couldn't talk!

-Mommy-

-Caillou, time to get up!

-M...om...my.

-Uh oh. Sounds like you have
a frog in your throat, Caillou!

-Huh?

-No, not a real frog.
It just sounds like one.

You're not warm but
I think that scratchy throat

of yours has
turned into laryngitis.

Until you get your voice back,

I don't want to hear
a peep out of you understood?

We have to let
your throat get better.

In the meantime, how
about some breakfast, okay?

-Caillou, what can
I get you for breakfast?

You can have anything you want!

Do you want some pancakes?

French toast?

A bowl of cereal?

-Caillou didn't
know how to tell his daddy

that he wanted something warm
that woudn't scratch his throat.

-I know! We're going to play
a game of charades to figure out

what you want to eat okay?
Try and show me what you want.

-Game! Game! Yea!

-The fridge? It comes
out of the fridge right?

Eggs!

You're cracking eggs!

You're mixing up the eggs.
Could it be scrambled eggs?

-Eggs! Me too!

-I guess I better get cracking!

-Caillou spent
the rest of the day playing
charades so as not to speak.

Caillou woke up the next
mornig feeling much better.

His throat wasn't sore anymore.

-Gilbert.

Gilbert!

-Good morning Caillou.
How does your throat feel today?

-Mommy! I got my voice back!

-That's great!

So I guess that frog in
your throat must be gone then?

-Ribbid! Ribbid!

Are you ready?

-Oh, ready.

-Okay

-Let's go.

-Sigh.

-Now remember.

-Sorry Gilbert

-You've got to mean it.

-I will.

-With all your heart.

-With all my heart.

Well, I do.

Good. Let's go.

-Oh!

-Sorry Gilbert.

-Not too hard, not too soft.

-Not too hard, not too soft.

Just right.

-Right.

After you.

-Oh thank you.

Okay, one...

two...

three

HUG!

-Oh, Caillou left
and didn't hug me Goodbye.

I never thought I'd be
hugged again in my whole life.

That made me so sad.

-The only language a teddy bear
really understands is a hug.

Sometimes doing it
means more than saying it.

-Thank You!

I really needed a hug.

-You've absolutely got to hug a
teddy bear at least once a day.

Have you hugged yours?

-I never knew
all-day excursions could
be so hard on a Teddy bear.

-Did anybody see where
I left Teddy? I need a cuddle.

-You're good friends.

What would I do without you?

-Now I know what
my Ode will be about!

-What, Gilbert?

-It will be an
Ode to a Happy Teddy.

There's nothing
more beautiful than that.

-There you are, Teddy.

My friends and
I will see you tomorrow.

Grandma!

We have loads of fun together.

Like bird watching
with real birds.

Grandma's real
good at arts and crafts.

And we love playing music.

I love staying
over at Grandma's house.

- I LIKE PLAYING
WITH MY GRANDPA.

ONE TIME WE LOOKED AT THE
MOON, WAY UP IN THE SKY.

GRANDPA KNOWS HOW
TO MAKE THINGS.

WE EVEN MADE A TENT ONCE.

AND MY GRANDPA
GIVES THE BEST HUGS.
