Moomin and the Wishing Star

It's such a great gift with such cute illustrations and a lovely meaning behind it. It made a heart warming present for my friend and would recommend this seller (and the books too).

New Moomins are not written by Tove Jansson. They are modern adaptations for little children. I have purchased all of them too date, not because they are well written but more for the lovely illustrations, nice messages and ties to the original Moomin characters.

Moomin is such an important part of my family life. We talk about these books and characters a lot.

Quintessential Moomin abridged for younger readers and made more enchanting with Tove's artwork reconfigured into picture book form.

Moomins-Those wonderful, cuddly trolls that look like white hippos walking on two legs are featured in board books, picture books as well as novels. This picture book describes Moomintroll’s discovery of a shiny pebble his family thinks might be a fallen star and therefore able to grant a wish. After his sister Snorkmaiden shares her wish for a new tail ring and friend Sniff hopes for a chest of gems, Moomintroll begins to think on whether he should give them their wishes or focus on what he wants. In the end, Moomintroll decides to wish for something that family and friends will all enjoy. Like all the Moomins books I’ve read, kindness and friendship is modeled throughout the story and is couched in brightly illustrated pages and the text is large and easy to read. Great book for just the fun of it or shared during emphasis on kindness towards others. Recommended for ages 2-9.
