Arlington, Va. – PBS Distribution announced it will be releasing six stories from PBS KIDS’ popular CAILLOU series on the new DVD “CAILLOU’S GARDEN ADVENTURES.” With the first day of spring (March 20th) fast approaching, “CAILLOU’S GARDEN ADVENTURES” provides a wonderful way to get kids excited about the upcoming warmer weather and getting outside! In this outstanding DVD, Caillou teaches kids about composting, saving water, and that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Caillou is a 4-year-old boy who delights in the small wonders of the world around him, embellishing everything he sees with his rich imagination. Thanks to his vivid imagination, ordinary, everyday events quickly become exciting adventures where Caillou can play “make-believe.” CAILLOU is designed for preschoolers and focuses on role-playing and “make-believe.” CAILLOU airs weekdays on PBS KIDS (check local listings) and is produced by DHX Media.

“CAILLOU’S GARDEN ADVENTURES” will be available on DVD February 25, 2014. The run time of the DVD is approximately 50 minutes and its SRP is $9.99. In addition to featuring six fun-filled learning adventures, the DVD also includes special features – PDF coloring pages and activities.
