When Caillou gets picky in eating, his mother lets him pick vegetables from the store and help in cooking.
Nice drawings.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the eARC

I really liked this book and thought it was a great book for parents with picky eaters. Caillou does not like the food Mommy is making. So Mom decides to take him on a shopping trip with her and he can pick out the foods he likes. While getting cheese Mommy reminds him he did not like cheese before. The story goes on and Caillou helps Mommy prepare the vegetables and make the soup with the things Caillou picked at the store. Illustrations are vivid and bright as with all Caillou shows and books. I recommend this book for 2-5 yr. olds.

What an excellent book about helping children decide to eat yummy, new foods. Most kids go through the phase of being resistant to new things. The beloved Cailou learns that new food can be exciting. He is a helper in the grocery store and later on in the kitchen! I will read this book over and over to my kids because I know that they will want to revisit Cailou's journey towards better health and variety when it comes to foods!

This is a read-aloud for a young and fussy eater or for parents who do not want to find themselves with one! Caillou's mom finds a good way to encourage Caillou to eat a healthy dinner. Children who know Caillou from other books or from TV will enjoy this story.

Simple story about teaching children the importance of vegetables and trying new foods. Perfect for encouraging fussy eaters to try new foods and also reminding parents to cook food with their children. Definitely recommend!

A helpful new title in the Healthy Toddler series about teaching picky eaters to consider new foods. Colorful illustrations and an easy text make this a joy for toddlers and parents. 5/5

Grateful to NetGalley and Chouette Publishing for the ARC. Opinions are mine.

Toddler and children go through phases with their eating habits. One day they love broccoli and the next day they won't touch any food that is green. It can be a headache for parents trying to get their kids to have a well rounded and healthy pallet. Caillou Tries New Food is a fun book for kids on this exact subject. My son loves the Caillou series and this book was no different. He enjoyed reading this book with me and us having conversations about why we eat different types of foods. And the book offers a great suggestion for parents of picky eaters - get them in the kitchen cooking with you and let them pick out some foods at the grocery store. It's a fun and interactive book to read with your kids and now my son wants to try to make the soup Cailllou made with his mom!!! 4+ stars!

My thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Cailou learns to try new food when he gets to be part of the process by helping to pick out food and cook it with his mother. I thought this was a cute little book that could be great at helping motivating little ones to want to be more involved in picking out foods and trying new ones.

I received this ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

Cute with a great story for the kids. We love Caillou and the story here is wonderful. We recommend it because everything is appealing!

Part of the Caillou Healthy Toddler series. A book to encourage little ones to try and enjoy new foods. A book for parents to read to picky, finicky eaters. Caillou doesn’t want to try even a little broccoli. Mommy takes him to the store. He has his very own shopping bag into which he places foods he likes. He likes cheese (but didn’t when he was younger). Mommy tells him his tastes are changing. He picks out vegetables for soup and helps mommy make some when they get home. It tastes good. Very short. Very sweet. Very simple.

I've read this book with my 4-year-old, who also is a picky eater, and really loves Caillou. (After reading the book he wanted to watch an episode on TV). We were a bit disappointed that Caillou, and also his parents, looks different than in the TV Show, where they always wear the same clothes. Also, little Rosie is missing.
It's a good idea to let a child pick his/her own food in order to get it to eat better. Unfortunately, this does not always help. My son has helped me cut vegetables for a soup, he nicked some of the carrots before they even got to the pot, and we stirred the soup together on the stove. But in the end he still didn't want to eat it...

Still, it's a nice story for little kids. My son is the same age Caillou is, so probably the perfect target audience for books with Caillou. But for his age group it could have been a few more examples of "trying new food". This book here is probably for younger kids.

Great character! Kids love Caillou and can relate. Fun to read with kids and see their interpretation of how Caillou deals with issues of growing up! Great illistrations! Would recommend!

Thanks for an ARC to enjoy with my grandson and give my opinion.

I have a two year old grandson and we read this together. The illustrations were enough to capture his attention and hold it as I read a story about a small boy having problems eating food. To circumvent the problem his mother takes him to the grocery store so that he can help buy food to make a soup. Then at home Caillou helps his mother prepare the soup. It was a short book and entranced my grandson until it was finished. I'd give it five stars for his entertainment!

Caillou Tries New Foods, by Christine L'Heureux and Mario Allard is a children's book that's been adapted from the animated series.

Within twenty-four pages, this book focuses on Caillou and his parents, as he assists with food preparations and tries new foods. Also, there are brightly colored illustrations throughout the book.

Caillou Tries New Foods is geared toward young children, specifically ages two to six.


Note: I received this book from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.

New foods are always hard to cope with, especially if you are a litle kid and no one understand that you may be happy for the rest of your baby years eating one and only type of food. In the typical-Caillou illustrations, it helps parents and children together to discover the pleasures of new foods and understand how you can make them look appealing and adventurous enough to be added to the baby's plate. A funny and colour way approach to baby foods.

Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this for an honest review.

So, to be honest, this wasn't for me (even though I still read it) but for a friend's child. He loved it! And I can assure you that parents can enjoy the story too! It's short it has a message, you will love it!

I got this book to read to my two year old and loved it. We are right at that age where she's decided she's not eating anything unless it's cheese, bananas, or fruit snacks. It's definitely one I could see us purchasing for continued reading.

Caillou is getting older and his parents are giving him different foods to eat. He is afraid to try some of them and his appetite is not good. Mommy asks him to go shopping with her and he gets to pick out some food he likes. They talk about how he didn't like some things when he was younger, but does now. He helps prepare soup with the vegetables they bought and is not afraid to try them. Once again the illustrations are well done and add to the story. It is hard to get young children to try new things. It is good to get them involved so they are eager to try instead of forcing, yelling etc. This is a children's story that also has a message for parents. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

Unlike all the other books I’ve read in this series, this one has an agenda. It doesn’t want your kid to try new foods, it wants them to try new healthy foods. There’s even tips for how to accomplish this, including having Caillou accompany mom to the grocery store and helping with the cooking.
If only it was really that easy. . .

Our two boys absolutely adore Caillou. From the shows in which plays on TV, to their app on their tablet to YouTube videos. They know the character’s name and theme song. This book captured our boy’s undivided attention and it is a great read right before bed or just about any other time. This book has helped our oldest who is 4, want to and be willing to try a variety of new foods so that he can be like Caillou. This book makes a GREAT mom + son time, bedtime story time and so much more! We will purchase more Caillou books and continue to watch the show!!
