I was quite interested in this adventure of Caillou. Being from Ontario in Canada, there are many areas around me that produce maple syrup and I have made numerous trips to close by Maple syrup festivals.
This book explains the process with Caillou going to Jonas’ farm to watch how maple syrup and other maple products are made. This book is said to be for ages 3 and up, I think it’s a little advanced for that age and that there are some words that would need to be explained to a child even slightly older.
Nonetheless, this book is a fun learning tool.
I received this book from net galley free in exchange for an honest review.

Adorable children's book with both artwork! It's delightfully Canadian and everyone will be wanting maple candy after reading. This would be great for a lesson and snack at school.

After the last couple of pedestrian entries in the series, this volume actually has a story, where the cute little kid goes to see how maple is harvested from trees. Once warm inside, they get to make yummy stuff out of their crop. This kid, and to a lesser extent his little sister, bring the cute to such levels that it’s almost sweeter than the syrup.
This, along with the hockey book, do the most to prove this series is set in Canada.

Being a Canadian, I loved this book. Learning about the maple bush, and how sap from maple trees is used to make different things is one of the school trips I took my classes on in the winter. Caillou and his family take a trip and at the end get to try maple toffee. The book says ages 3 and up but I would gear it to ages 5 and up as some of the vocabulary may be difficult as well as following the process and maintaining attention might be hard for 3 year olds. The illustrations are large, bright and vibrant and add to the story. A great addition to a classroom, especially when learing about fall and winter.

If you want a fun read to cuddle up with a child or have a short read along, this book is perfect. Caillou gets a chance to go outside his element with his family visiting a ranch. But what's really exciting is learning about the maple trees and getting to sample the delicious maple sap. The book is perfect for young readers. Kids can even try reading for themselves. And for those experiencing winter, who doesn't like reading about travels and enjoying warm sugary treats?

This is a fun little book that teaches children about the sap from the maple tree and what it can be made in to. I would say that really the book needs to be aimed at children aimed 5-7 years plus as younger ones are not that likely to remain interested as the processes explained are a tad complicated for them. Nice bright images and easy to follow - even I learnt from the book!
