MEDIA REVIEWS
Thomas's direct language, with just the right degree of poetic resonance, pairs powerfully with Egneus's atmospheric images; this is the perfect book for talking to children about death. * The Guardian *
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 on MOTH *
A gorgeous blend of text and illustrations and a wonderfully successful introduction to nonfiction for younger readers * Booklist on MOTH *
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 on MOTH *
A rare pleasure ... a true story of adaptation and hope. * Wall Street Journal on MOTH *
