Caillou: Hansel and Gretel

Full of adventure and excitement, these stories enable children to use their imaginations to cope with concerns and conflicts. Caillou and Rosie listen raptly to the original fairy tales and imagine themselves in the characters’ places as the stories unfold.

Hansel and Gretel are abandoned in the woods. The lost and hungry children seek haven in the mouthwatering gingerbread house inhabited by a wicked witch, masquerading as a kind old woman.

Chouette Publishing first published Caillou books in 1990, and the character went on to become the well-loved hero of the popular television series. They are located in Montreal, Quebec. Pierre Brignaud is the illustrator of numerous Caillou stories, including Caillou: Happy Thanksgiving!, Caillou: I Will Always Love You, Caillou: Merry Christmas, and Caillou: Potty Time. He lives in Montreal, Quebec.
