A classic tale in the tradition of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, from bestselling author and illustrator Eric Carle, celebrating the importance of never giving up.

“At once stark and sophisticated, Carle’s trademark collage art fills the pages.”—Publishers Weekly

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?

Much like he did with 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.
