Fun family book about camping when electricity goes out. Great illustrations!

Good book to help children face their fears and make it fun

A storm knocks out the power to Caillou's house. What will they do?

Parents may find this useful to prepare young children for storms or power cuts, and to show that you can still have fun without electricity!

When the power goes out at Caillou's house he is frightened. He does not know what has happened. Dad goes upstairs to get him and they travel to the basement to get the flashlights using candles. Dad makes it a fun experience for him so he is not scared. Mom cooks dinner on the fire in the fireplace and the family sleeps in sleeping bags on the living room floor by the fire. What a great way to help children who are afraid of storms especially when the power goes out ant they are frightened in the dark. Once again, the illustrations are wonderful, so colourful and fun.

Review: CAILLOU: LIGHTS OUT by Chouette Publishing and Eric Sevigny

An electrical blackout can be a scary time even for adults. For young Caillou and even younger Rosie, the lights going off at supper time is frightening. Fortunately, Mommy and Daddy have flashlights and candles, and a wonderful campout supper is fixed over the fireplace. Then everyone "camps" in the living room to sleep, and when morning comes, the snow has stopped, the sun is out, and the power is on. A heartwarming delight for Caillou fans.
