A Bite to Remember

Marvin the Moth in a theatrical adventure about never giving up.

Ages 5+ Hardback Read-along audio

On a warm summer evening, Marvin the moth spots a lady in a red silk dress — and falls instantly, hopelessly in love.

He follows her through the city and into a glittering world of opera houses, stage lights and grand performances, determined — against all odds and several near-disasters — not to give up. It’s a mouthwatering adventure with a soft heart, and a story about perseverance and keeping going when things get tough.

With rich, dramatic illustrations by Julie Arnoult, it’s a picture book for children aged 5 and up who like a little theatre with their bedtime story.

Written by Nick Schönfeld · Illustrated by Julie Arnoult
