Moth by Isabel Thomas

Moth by Isabel Thomas

Powerful and visually spectacular, this paperback edition of Moth tells the remarkable evolution story that captures the struggle of animal survival against the background of an evolving human world in a unique and atmospheric introduction to Darwin's theory of Natural Selection.

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 *
