Narration In Favor Of Books Finn Family Moomintroll (Mumintrollen #3)

"It's finished. There isn't a stamp, or an error that I haven't collected. Not one. What shall I do now?"
"I think I'm beginning to understand," said Moomintroll slowly. "You aren't a collector anymore, you're only an owner, and that isn't nearly so much fun."

My children and I believed we were only "owners" of the Moomins nowadays, not collectors of their adventures. However, by accident we discovered that one can collect the same stamp twice, and be a happy Hemul. No stamp is an identical twin. To put it in a less Moominish way: we all of a sudden discovered we wanted to reread our collection of Moomins. And what a strange experience it is to read aloud to three teenagers who suddenly understand all the character traits of the inhabitants of Moomin Valley. When we started comparing and contrasting with whom we identified most, I added some valuable memory stamps to my rich collection of "reading with my children". My son said he now knew exactly why I need to be alone sometimes. If you wander off alone, you will be all the happier when you return.

As for the wizard - what a kind and wise old man he turned out to be.

Knowing people makes them less scary. And just remember to offer them pancakes. That is the ultimate test.

Loved it!

Sometimes things do work out as they ought to: my son is well on the road to loving the Moomintroll books just as much as I do. We breezed through this second book in the series really fast -- T was able, without much effort, to persuade Mama to read a chapter aloud pretty much any time of day, as long as he wasn't supposed to be in school.This charming tale of one Spring and Summer in the lives of the Moomin family picks up where its predecessor left off. Every member of the Moomin household

Read this one when I was seven...At the time, I didn't understand the concept of "Never judge a book by its cover" (and boy am I glad, as this book's just as good, if not better than it's awesome, mind-candy cover) and at first, I picked this one up solely based on the colorful illustrations on the jacket. It's still a favorite of mine and reminds me of the absolute wonder of being a kid. This book rocks my world. What a little freakin' treasure chest of glory the Moomintrolls are!Snufkin is a

This is what comes of putting on strange hats you find. Just buy yourself a good hat and stick to it, that's what you need to do. If more people took the liberty to have their own every-day hats these sorts of things wouldn't be happening left and right. What if it wasn't just a hobgoblin it had belonged to and it had been a banshee or evil spirit of some sort?

This is actually a reread for me. However, since I romped through all the Moomin books when I was about ten or twelve, I don't think it really counts as such. That said, I was astonished by how much I remembered from well over a half-century ago. (My wife suggests I may have read it to my daughter when she was small, but I don't recall doing so -- shame on me for this failure of parenting! -- and, even if I did, that would still have been, ahem, a respectable number of years ago.)Moomintroll,

Ten stars!

This book is the reason I learned to read.My mother read it aloud to me once and then refused to read it again. In fact, she washed her hands of the whole series on the grounds that it was "creepy". I was forced - forced! - to teach myself to read, if I wanted any more Moomins, ever. I got my revenge, however: I read this book out loud to HER while she was working in the kitchen and couldn't get away.

I loved the Moomins so much as a kid. I don't remember reading them, actually -- surprisingly, no sense of location or of my fingers on the pages comes back to me, though usually I'll remember where I read books and whether my edition was new or old, and the smell of the pages... In any case, I do remember that I loved the Moomins, and it was lovely to curl up and reread now I'm older, and wiser, and really not feeling well.I do love the range of characters, all with different customs and such,
