THE TOVE JANSSON CLASSIC IN A NEW SOFTCOVER FORMAT
Due to the resounding success of the hardcover Moomin comics by Tove Jansson and Lars Jansson, D+Q is reissuing this classic comic in an all-new format. Available in an affordable kid-proof but kid-friendly flexicover, and in full color for the first time, these books are slimmer versions of the hardcovers, with one story in each volume while previous editions collected four.
Moomin's Winter Follies
Moomin wakes up one morning to find the pond frozen over, and rather than hibernate, the family decides to brave the winter weather. At first, their wintry adventure seems to be going swimmingly, until Mr. Brisk of the Great Outdoors Club takes over and forces everyone to embrace the winter sports, whether they want to or not.

About the Author:
Tove Jansson (1914–2001) was born in Helsinki, Finland, and is the Hans Christian Andersen Award–winning author, cartoonist, painter, and creator of the Moomintrolls. The Moomins are loved around the world, have been on television, and can be found in their own museum and theme park in Finland.
From Booklist:
The troll-like Moomins decide that hibernation is too much trouble and instead get involved with the self-aggrandizing and triangular-bodied Mr. Brisk, a sports-minded fellow. The Moomins, however, along with their usual pals, are not of athletic inclinations or builds, so their efforts to get with Mr. Brisk’s programs lead to falls through ice, unfortunate skiing paths, and so on. But worse, for Moomin especially, is that females seem to be crazy about Mr. Brisk—all of them from Mama Moomin to red-topknotted Mymble. Jansson’s tale works as well now as when she penned it a half century ago: a nice concoction of the sweet, the silly, the struggle, the gentle comeuppance, and the recovery of the Moomin status quo after their adventures. Several pages at the end of the volume offer full-size scenes from the story’s panels, with the chance to get close-up looks at Moomin facial expressions and the shivering that winter follies can induce. Grades 2-4. --Francisca Goldsmith
