This triumphant story of a journey begins optimistically, but Beetle soon finds his trek is more difficult than he had originally thought. But with determination and creativity he finds a short cut that eventually leads him to his destination—the sea. Once there, Beetle relaxes and feels the satisfaction of knowing that he has reached his goal. With each page, readers learn that although it may not always be easy to accomplish a goal, hard work, determination, and a little bit of luck can make it possible. Each beautifully illustrated page of Beetle's journey to the sea reveals a new scene that reflects the changing moods and outlook of Beetle throughout the journey.
