The Very Clumsy Click Beetle

From bestselling author and illustrator Eric Carle, the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, comes this classic tale about one very clumsy click beetle. Now available as a board book—with a new tactile raised spot UV at the end! When a little click beetle falls onto his back, he seeks the help of a wise old click beetle. "Look at me," says the more experienced click beetle, giving a loud click and flipping onto its feet. But try as he might, the clumsy little click beetle just can't get the hang of it—or can he? In the tradition of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Carle creates a winning story of perseverance and pride in achievement that gives voice to the valiant little beetle as it clicks its way through the colorful pages and somersaults into young readers' hearts.
