Moth
An Evolution Story
Isabel Thomas and Daniel Egnéus
(Bloomsbury)
£7.99
‘Moth‘ is the story of the peppered moth. Emerging from a nighttime cocoon, it dances across an indigo night, a salt and pepper moth facing predators. Birds and bats seek them. Charcoal moths make easy targets, shadows obvious against trees and sky. Those with colourings allowing them to remain hidden, have survived longest.
We follow the progress of ‘Moth’ to the industrial revolution, where coal, steam, soot and pollution mean that charcoal moths survive best. Salt and pepper, speckled moths, are more evident against our city smeared skies.
Isabel Thomas’s direct, informative text fits perfectly with the luminous, evening jewelled pictures of Bookwagon favourite illustrator, Daniel Egnéus. ‘Moth’ is a truly magnificent title that merits a place on every bookshelf.
