'Clams can't do anything' is the consensus of the other seashore creatures so Beatrice and Benny are to be excluded from the evening concert. Undaunted however, the pair of molluscs prove just how wrong that is by giving an outstanding performance of a 'Symphony for Two Clams', Onomatopocia is used to effect in this gentle amusement for learner readers, and Stevenson's casual illustrations in shades of green and brown match the throw-away humour of the story.
