The Girl With the Plants and Books!
5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning artwork and a wonderful message at the heart of its story
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 16, 2021
This is my youngest son's next English book for the new school term, so I thought it would be great to have a copy at home.
This is a beauty of a book with some of the most gorgeous illustrations and most accessible written sections I’ve seen.
Overall, the concept is a pure winner and perhaps one of the simplest of ways to introduce the younger generation to the concept of evolution.
It’s also lovely to see the emphasis on moths, as opposed to the usual butterflies!
A stunning book and thoroughly enjoyed by all ages in our home, this is highly recommended.
