When Moomintroll and Sniff find a message in a bottle down on the shore, it leads to an expedition to Lonely Island on a little raft. High winds and a storm at sea nearly lead to disaster but they are rescued by a new friend, the ever-resourceful Too-Ticky. Moomintroll's close friend, Snorkmaiden, is jealous but she soon learns that finding a new friend doesn't mean losing an old one. A magical picture book about the Moomins based on the art and characters created by Tove Jansson.

Product Description
About the Author
Tove Jansson was born in Helsingfors, Finland, in 1914. Her mother was a caricaturist who designed 165 of Finland's stamps and her father was a sculptor. She studied painting in Finland, Sweden and France, and subsequently became a book illustrator. Her extraordinary illustrative style is seen as a design classic the world over. Originally written in Swedish, the Moomintroll books have been translated into 34 languages and adapted for television, film, radio and opera. Tove Jansson lived alone on a small island in the gulf of Finland, where most of her books were written. She died in 2001.

Simple stories about friendship and unfussy, very memorable illustrations

I love the idiosyncratic artwork in these books and also the way the background colours change from page to page. There is a lovely Hokusai-inspired picture of a storm at sea as a double-page spread in this one. The story is basic, but this makes it capable of being liked within a wide age bracket. My toddler started liking these books from about 18 months old, but will get even more out of them as he gets older.

Is This Really by Tove Jansson?

I have read all of the Moomin children's series, and saw this book offered on Kindle when I needed a book for my granddaughter while I was visiting her. I was quite disappointed with it. It is a short picture book, and the characters seem unlike their usual selves. I find it hard to believe Tove Jansen wrote this book; I think it must be written by someone else who used illustrations of the characters from other books. I can't recommend this book, but I encourage you to find anything else actually written by Ms. Jansson - she is a wonderful author with a real sensitivity for nature and human nature.
