First published 1999. 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.
