Donny the Dung Beetle

By Jessica Roberts and Clare Gardner

Donny the Dung Beetle is just an ordinary young beetle, except for one big thing… he cannot roll dung!

This book follows Donny’s story as he overcomes his problems and, with hard work and dedication, proves everybody wrong!

This book aims to give an educational introduction to the dung beetle alongside the message of the story: that hard work pays off and that “Practice makes perfect.”
