Be just like Daddy

The toddler Caillou - from the popular series of children's books and videos - learns all about daddies in this short book. Parents should be cautioned that Caillou asks how he was born on the very first page! Caillou finds out what it was like when he was a baby, decides that he wants to be like daddy too, and learns that his daddy has a daddy as well. Just Like Daddy is written in very simple and straightforward sentences, like the other Caillou books. This makes the book easy to understand for toddlers, especially when explaining new ideas. Caillou stories are also notable for describing the - sometimes powerful - emotions that toddlers can feel, and young children seem to find this aspect of these stories both interesting and validating. So we learn not only what Caillou thinks about having a daddy (and a grandpa) but what he feels about it as well. The illustrations are in the signature Caillou style, and easy for toddlers to comprehend. Adoptive or step-fathers should be cautioned that this book emphasizes the biological relationship between fathers and children, including aspects like having the same eye color.
