It's pretty hard to top "Moomin on the Riviera" and the trunk of foul language from Book One (plus I think you just fall in love with whatever Moomin you read first), but this comes pretty close.

I love that it's always the whole Moomin family who are up to wacky hijinks, not just the little Moomin. In fact, Moomin Mama and Moomin Papa are often the instigators -- then chaos, hilarity, and profound wisdom ensue, all in the form of round hippo-like trolls. Genius. I could read this stuff all day.

Book 2 has four new stories told in the form of comic strips, and we are introduced to Mymble and Little My, and Mrs. Fillyjonk! And it is every bit as charming as the first volume.

It is so comforting to read! A fitting book to start the Christmas break with. It offers advice on how to rear children ("I don't like to keep scolding them. I just pour some water over them... or lemonade."), how to embrace change instead of blindly following society's dictates ("No, we are not going to hibernate. We shall create new traditions!"), how to face life with humor and joy, and how to be generous with one's neighbors.

We love Moomin!
