Annotation: Eric Carle's books are beloved by children everywhere, not only for the striking beauty of the collage illustrations and the fun of the stories, but because children sense his real interest in their own deepest concerns. In this book he deals compassionately with their universal feelings of awkwardness as they go about learning new skills -- and encourages them to keep on trying until they succeed.

The Very Clumsy Click Beetle, like all of Eric Carle's Very special books, has an added sensory feature -- in this case, the audible "click" as the reader turns the page. This invites the small child not only to read the text and look at the pictures, but also to listen to the click beetle as it flips through the pages.

Publisher Description:
A VERY classic from Eric Carle, creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar

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 complete with an ingenious fiber-optic microchip that truly gives voice to the valiant little beetle as it CLICKs its way through the colorful pages and somersaults into your heart.
