Goth Moth by Kai Lufner and Wiebke Rauers. PICTURE BOOK. North South, 2024. $20. 9780735845558

BUYING ADVISORY: EL - OPTIONAL

APPEALS TO: SOME

The Goth Moth happily air drums all day in the abandoned old house on the edge of a cliff. When his singer crush comes for a concert in the woods, he ventures out into the daylight - for a meet cute and for a chance to rock himself.

Goth Moth held some promise - but it fell a little flat.  Why is the drum kit just sitting there empty?  Why does Moth kiss the singer, but goes back to the abandoned house? I’m confused. On the other hand, as a punk rocker myself, I love the illustrations and I am definitely going to have a personal copy to enjoy with small friends.
