Reading Caillou French Book on YouTube

The story how Jerry starts read Caillou Books on YouTube.

From QR code to Scan2D Book Reading Card to French Caillou Read Aloud on YouTube

QR code is not popular here in Ottawa/Gatineau area. So we are looking for more ideas to help people using the QR code. About two months ago, Bo (my business partner) comes with a new idea that links a children’s book, YouTube read aloud, Google review and Amazon store all together with a QR code –we called QR code reading card. A pretty good idea, so we start working on that and just a few days it is ready. Check this scan2dbook.com if interested.

When we work on some initial content, Bo works for English and I work for French content because I am living in Quebec. I ask Jerry provide me a list of the French books so I can find the read aloud on YouTube, but unfortunately, there’s not much content available on YouTube in French. Jerry was beside me when I did the research and also not happy with what we have found.

Somehow, I cannot remember the exact conversation, but Jerry and I decided that Jerry will read some French book and put on YouTube. For the purpose, that:

I 

1. I can get some French content for my QR code reading card (this becomes less important because I found something else is more fun!)
2. Read French book for the children, teach them to read and fewer TVs, which parents or daycare staffs do not need read it again and again.
3. Read French book for the children for the parents do not speak in French, this is Jerry’s idea because he still remembers how upset that I refuse to read the French book for him, I do not speak French and sorry…
4. Let Jerry practice read the book aloud and become a YouTuber!
5. Hope, maybe this can encourage other children 10 – 12 years to read books for the small kids.

Then, we spent some time did some research together and finally, we picked up to read French Caillou books.

Caillou books have been made since 1989 by Chouette Publishing Inc. The series was originally broadcast in French in Canada, and the episodes were later translated into English, and re-runs in English began on PBS and PBS Kids Sprout in the United States. The original books were also in French. Caillou was designed primarily for toddlers. It was created by child developmental psychologists.

Caillou is an average, imaginative, bald four-year-old boy with a love for forms of transportive machinery such as rocket ships and airplanes. A dreamer, Caillou is prone to frequent dream sequences in some episodes, visualizing his daydreams and hopes, and many episodes chronicle his normal daily experiences with his parents, friends, and neighbors. Caillou particularly loves his stuffed dinosaur Rexy and teddy bear Teddy, along with his pet cat Gilbert, all of whom are depicted as puppets in segments featured in the earlier episodes.

Each Caillou book talks about a small story or topic that helps parents teach and explain environment, common sense, good habit, and love, etc. And I consider it is the best book for 2 to 5 years kids and their parents.
Following is a quick list of Caillou book French read aloud,

Caillou - joue au hockey 

Caillou - Le docteur

Caillou - Cueille des pommes

Caillou - fait du camping
