Eso Es Mio! (It's Mine!) (Caillou)

by Joceline Sanhagrin

The popular Little Dipper series of Caillou board books is now available in Spanish. Conceived with the help of a child psychologist, this series takes everyday situations and presents them from a child's perspective. AEso es mio! addresses Caillou's difficulty with sharing. Once his mommy explains that he has a right to say no and keep his favorite toy to himself, it's easier to say yes to sharing.

Каю и приятелят му Филип не упсяват да разделят играчките си. Но винаги може да се намери компромис. И да бъдат щастливи.
Много подходяща книга за деца, които тепърва се учат да споделят.

Joceline Sanschagrin, It's Mine! (Chouette Publishing, 2002)

This was my first exposure to the kiddie-media sensation that is Caillou, and to be honest, I was less than impressed. I get the point the author was trying to make here, but wow, Caillou himself is, not to put too fine a point on it, a real jerk. I have since consulted with other parents more experienced with these sorts of things (when my older child was getting into public television, Big Comfy Couch and Barney were still the kings of the block and no one had ever heard of a Teletubby or a Backyardigan), and most of them confirm that, yes, the author's got it right—this kid is seriously annoying. This one dropped out of rotation pretty quick; there are hundreds of books with less bratty protagonists that will impart the sharing-is-good lesson. **
