Description
A sweet, rhyming story that offers proof of just how extraordinary ordinary can be.
Feeling quite ordinary, a plain gray moth sadly compares itself to its more exotic kin, such as the Luna Moth, the Spider Moth, and the Hummingbird Moth. And the little moth feels even worse when a young girl sees it and says "Eww!" But things change when her brother explains that this particular type of moth is his favorite kind of insect. Maybe an ordinary moth is really extraordinary after all.
Back matter includes fascinating moth facts, along with a special activity.

Karlin Gray is not a lepidopterist--a scientist who studies moths and butterflies. But when her son announced that the moth was his favorite insect, she decided to take a closer look at the little creature. When she did, she learned some extraordinary things and was inspired to write An Ordinary Moth. Karlin is also the author of Nadia: The Girl Who Couldn't Sit Still. She lives in Connecticut with her family. Visit her at www.KarlinGray.com.
