Is It Any Good?
Pre-readers who like the TV show Caillou and the coloring book theme will get some enjoyment out of finding flashing objects and picking the letter each starts with in CAILLOU'S WORLD. But many other kids will be tapping furiously looking for something else to do here. Each time a scene is selected they only get to click on six objects, then the letter that object starts with. And the coloring book only reveals an entire colorful picture at the end. Plus the stars earned go away by the next screen; there's no page for kids to see them accumulate. The words do go from easy to hard and are mixed up well; there are plenty of combinations each time a scene is opened up. But for something boldly called Caillou's World kids should really be able to do more coloring and exploring themselves instead of one straightforward learning task.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
