Summer Stories from Moominvalley

Penguin presents the audio CD edition of Summer Stories from Moominvalley by Tove Jansson, read by Hugh Dennis.

Moominsummer Madness

It all began with a hot day in June, and a volcano dropping black ash on to Moominmamma's washing. Next a crack appeared in the ground, and then a great flood wave came crashing through Moomin Valley.

Comet in Moominland

A comet is speeding towards Earth and nobody knows what to do!

Will it destroy everything and everyone? Moomintroll decides to find out. So he and Sniff set out on an expedition, where they find adventure and excitement around every corner.

Reviews

They seem to grow in wisdom and delight every time I read them...a perfect marriage of word and picture

—— Philip Pullman

I have long been a passionate Moomin appreciator - it's not just Tove Jansson's wonderfully strange fairytale world that so appeals but also her beautiful line work and exquisite sense of design

—— Lauren Child

I think poetry for children needs to be saved from the cold dissection of right and wrong answers and put back into rooms and halls full of wonder, compassion, haunting, laughter, music and rhythm. We need to hear its many cultures, many voices, many sounds. This is about wide and diverse participation. Diverse verse for all!

—— Michael Rosen, Children's Laureate 2007-2009

This is a laugh out loud story with hilarious illustrations

—— Families Magazine

WHAM gives Daisy and the Trouble with Zoos five out of five for laugh-out-loud-ability!
