Charlie learned about the life cycle of butterflies in Bye Bye Butterflies and now is back for another Tell Me More Storybook adventure. When Charlie and his dad follow a parade of their neighbours through the local park they discover everyone is walking towards a big pile of dirt! But this isn't just any pile of dirt - this is compost. Charlie learns from his neighbors about the gardens they have and the delicious vegetables they grow in them. Mr Martino is growing tomatoes while Mrs Lee has onions and Mr Singh has herbs. Charlie is determined to become a gardener as well - and come up with something special to add to his neighbour's plans to make the best spaghetti sauce ever!

      Curious where so many of their city neighbors are going with shovels, Charlie and his dad join the crowd and learn about compost at the mayor's Dirt Day Giveaway. Charlie receives soil and a seed that he grows on his balcony, later adding his harvest to his neighbor's spaghetti sauce. The simple urban-gardening story is illustrated with chipper art featuring large-headed people. Composting information is appended.
