Caillou loves magic. Grandma impresses Caillou so much with her “composter” magic trick that Caillou has to try it too. He goes home and turns scraps of leftovers, grass clippings, and apple cores into plant food!

When Caillou helps Grandma in the garden, she shows him how scraps of leftovers, grass clippings, and apple cores can be turned into compost, that can then be used to nourish the plants in the garden.

"Grandma shows Caillou a great magic trick: turning scraps of leftovers, grass clippings, and apple cores into plant food"--P. [4] of cover.

Fasciné par la magie, Caillou veut reproduire le tour que lui a montré mamie. Avec un peu d’efforts, beaucoup de patience et un accessoire magique – un composteur –, il transforme des déchets de table et des résidus verts en nourriture pour les plantes!

At day care Caillou learns about water conservation. Once at home, he looks for ways that he can save water. Because his suggestion of not taking any more baths is vetoed by Mommy, Caillou has to find other ways to conserve—every little drop adds up!

Caillou has so many toys and he leaves them all around the house. He cannot wait to have some of Mommy’s delicious chocolate pudding, but first he must put away all of his toys. Luckily, Daddy has a neat new idea to help Caillou keep his toys tidy.

A spaghetti dinner and a lot of giggling result in Caillou getting the hiccups. Daddy thinks he knows how to cure them, and together, they embark on a series of hiccup-curing trials. But none of them seem to work! Mommy insists the hiccups will go away on their own - as long as Caillou doesn’t make a big deal of them, and she’s right!
