Caillou learns the importance of being a big brother. Caillou is very excited because he’s going to a parade with horses, drummers and clowns. But Rosie is afraid of clowns so Mom isn’t sure it’s a good idea to go. Caillou is upset because he thinks he’ll miss the parade because of that. But then he has a good idea: if he shows Rosie that clowns are just people wearing silly costumes, she won’t be afraid anymore.
