Reviews
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 * 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. -- Ferelith Hordon * Books for Keeps * A rare pleasure [...] a true story of adaptation and hope. * Wall Street Journal *
