The Moomins, in case you haven't already met them, are kind, philosophical creatures with velvety fur and smooth round snouts, who live in a beautiful valley in a forest in Finland. They have the most natural way of turning friends into family - Moominmamma simply adds another plank to the table and Moominpappa builds a new bed. The Moomins sleep through the winter, when the snow turns their house into a giant snowball. But when spring comes they wake and clamber down rope ladders hanging from there windows, ready for a bright new adventure.

In Finn Family Moomintroll the discovery of the Hobgoblin's hat leads to the most extraordinary magic and mayhem. Coupled with the arrival of Thingumy and Bob and their mysterious suitcase, the Moomins have never experienced anything quite like this before.

A New Bedtime Obsession Full of Kindness & Imagination
5 Stars
A New Bedtime Obsession Full of Kindness & Imagination
Based on some mega Moomin fan advice, we read this book first — and it has inspired a complete adoration for all things Tove Jansson in our five-year-old. The compelling blend of fun adventures, family bonds, diverse personalities and seasonal stories match our imaginative but very people-focused kid’s worldview. But this book also has opened up new daydream topics and curiosity about nature.The stories in this book - from a magical hat to a quick family trip on the sea - are exciting and interesting. But beyond that, Jansson’s well-written (even in translation) text offers a kind and nuanced approach to its characters. Even in conflict, the characters find collaborative solutions. When someone’s quirks might be perceived as problematic, the characters instead accept and often embrace difference.I just adore this book, the sweet illustrations sprinkled throughout and the wonderful writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars you'll probably be just as happy as I was to know that the books are ...
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2017
Verified Purchase
If you grew up with the Moomintrolls just as I did, you'll probably be just as happy as I was to know that the books are not only available but still in print and you can order brand new unblemished copies. If you didn't grow up with the Moomintroll books, it's never too late to learn to love them or teach the kids in your life to do so. To the uninitiated, it's hard to explain what makes the Moomintrolls so great. Sometimes there are great adventures in their tales but often they are distinguished from other so-called children's literature by the quiet, philosophical bent of much of the text. Either way they're gems not to be missed. (NOTE: when I say "so-called children's literature" it's not because I disdain children's literature but rather that I disdain the idea that it's just for children. A Wrinkle in Time, the Moomintroll books, The Phantom Tollbooth, these are great books and they remain worth reading at any age.)

The main characters were the same from the first book, but there are several new characters appeared in this book. And they played inportant part to enrich each episode. You will learn one the key characters, the Hobgoblin, will play important role. And it's another fun book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2011

As a child, I read the Moomin books by Tove Jansson back in the 1950s and was delighted to find they are available through Amazon in excellent and reasonably-priced hardcover editions, with the wonderful illustrations intact. 'Finn Family Moomintroll' was always my favorite and is still, though they are all good.

The Moomins are small animals, like pygmy hippos except that they walk on two feet. They live near the sea in Moomin Valley, with various other creatures both real and imaginary, like Sniff, the Muskrat and the Hemulen. What is wonderful about the Moomins is that they are completely accepting of everyone and, indeed, invite anyone who turns up not only to stay with them, but to move in to their ever-expanding household. Various adventures happen to them (in this book mostly arising out of their unwitting acquisition of the Hobgoblin's Hat, which transforms anything that is put into it), but although the author never lapses into sugary sweetness, nothing ever ends unhappily, even for the fearsome Groke.

Ms. Jansson's imagination is marvelous in its inventiveness and detail, and the illustrations bring the characters to life visually. For anyone who has children in the 7-11 range, or for adults like me who are old enough to be children again, this book and its companions will bring nothing but happiness.
