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?
The ‘The Very Clumsy Click Beetle Book Companion’ will help your little learners develop sequencing skills while learning about click beetles. It will also help children with identifying words from their beginning and ending sounds.
