Reviews for Moletown

*Starred Review: Kuhlmann s meticulous, precise illustrations are the star of this nearly wordless book, and each realistic spread of expanding modernization reveals an enormous amount of detail and evokes deep emotion. A poignant picture book with an unmistakable message and gorgeous, mesmerizing artwork. - Sarah Hunter, Booklist Kuhlmann's art for the underground city is richly done in earthy tones...[and] will pull in readers... - Kirkus Reviews .. .they [younger readers] will be transfixed by the gracefully drafted and soberly colored paintings of the moles, their intricately engineered machines, and their exhausted, poorly-lit world. - Publishers Weekly The Lorax hits the same environmental notes, but Moletown is the subtler of the two...Explicit in its message. Subtle in its presentation. In short, a beaut. - Betsy Bird, Fuse #8 Production, School Library Journal *Starred Review: A poignant statement about the spread of civilization resulting in the destruction of nature, thought-provoking and unique. Yelena Alekseyeva-Popova, School Library Journal
