몸이 뒤집혀 버린 작은 방아벌레(click beetle)가 지혜로운 늙은 방아벌레를 찾아가 도움을 청합니다. "나를 보렴." 경력이 많은 방아벌레가 말하며, 큰 소리로 '딸깍!' 소리를 내고 몸을 뒤집어 제 발로 섭니다. 하지만 서툰 작은 방아벌레는 아무리 노력해도 요령을 터득하지 못하는데... 과연 성공할 수 있을까요?

에릭 칼은 끈기와 성취의 자부심을 담은 훌륭한 이야기를 만들어 냈습니다. 용감한 작은 방아벌레가 알록달록한 페이지를 넘나들며 '딸깍!' 공중제비를 돌아 어린 독자들의 마음속으로 쏙 들어갈 것입니다.

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. Now available as a board book with a new touch-and-feel effect at the end!

"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 withThe 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.
