Small readers will recognize and empathize with the clumsy little beetle's eagerness to learn what the older beetle can already do so well. Here, in colorful collage illustrations and an engaging story, distinguished artist Eric Carle offers readers a message of hope and encouragement. He says, "All young children, as they grow up, have to face a lot of daunting challenges. In this book I wanted to reassure them that practice and perseverance really do pay off."
