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.”

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.
