How "beginning" do you need? There is an old Belwin solo arranged by Hovey and Leonard. It isn't beginner-beginner -- goes up to altissimo D with 16th note scale and arpeggio passages in 6/8 time. It is a theme and two variations.

The Authentic Edition of "Arban's" pub by Carl Fisher has the "Fantaisie and Variations" on "The Carnival of Venice" for Bb Cornet. Just play it slowly until you speed it up. The book is not cheap but is a valuable learning tool for Bb clarinet for other purposes besides what you're looking for.

As GBK has said, the Arban trumpet method is useful for clarinetists, because it has things that are not in any clarinet method. Trumpet players must learn early on to make seamless lip slurs and valve interchanges, so Arban gives many exercises.
Top professional clarinetists do things that even most conservatory performance majors cannot, and one of the main ones is seamless intervals. A standard clarient challenge is etude #1 of the Rose 40, and Daniel Bonade started his students on this first thing. It's well worth your time to get a copy of Arban and work systematically on perfecting the intervals.

i think i have one similar to the one you mention above. the one i have goes as high as C above the staff. i do fair until i get to the 16th notes and i can go no further. i would like a version that is just a little easier.

precisely, since the eighth note gets the beat. And, my students do play that second variation slower for awhile before they can play the whole piece at tempo. In fact, there is a slower metronome setting marked for that passage in the Hovey-Leonard arrangement.

You can also play Flight of The Bumblebee that way...

There is a nice free version for cornet, bugle or tenorhorn (but it also fits nicely into the clarinet's range) at:
