Synopsis

'This is snow,' Moomintroll whispered to himself. Moomins always sleep through the winter - or they did until the year Moomintroll woke up and went exploring in the silent, snow-covered valley where the river used to scuttle along and all his friends were so busy in summer.

Media Reviews
The Moomin books make for both splendid bedtime read-alouds and solitary savoring. - Wall Street Journal This book is a marvelous new look at a time of year when many of us are huddling inside, trying to stay warm, and a good reminder during a hot summer of what to look forward to in a few short months. - The Green Man Review Timeless . . . Perfect for reading aloud . . . The magical adventures of the innocent Moomin family have the whimsical, surrealistic quality of Frank Baum's Oz books. - Chicago Parent The Moomins originated in Finland, found their way to England, and have now, happily, crossed the Atlantic. One couldn't ask for more engaging citizens. - The Christian Science Monitor The books . . . belong on the shelf next to classics like A Wrinkle in Time and The Phantom Tollbooth. - Entertainment
