Moth … is another picture book with inbuilt growing room, an
introduction to the concept of evolution in language both
scientific and poetic, full of thrill and peril. … Thomas’s spare
text and back matter elegantly develop the book’s twin themes of
survival and hope.”
*Times Literary Supplement*
Moth … is a stunning visual experience. The narrative is simple –
the life and evolution of the Peppered Moth. It is not a fictional
story but it shows that facts can also inspire the imagination.
This is how information can really excite. Magical.
*Books for Keeps*
A gorgeous blend of text and illustrations and a wonderfully
successful introduction to nonfiction for younger readers
*Booklist*
A rare pleasure … a true story of adaptation and hope.
