Description

Come and explore with the Moomins in this brand-new story in a book shaped like the Moomin Lighthouse.

Moomintroll has found a trail of mysterious footprints in the Lighthouse . . . but where do they end? Join Moomintroll as he follows the footprints through dark rooms and spooky corridors, past Sniff, Snufkin and even a group of fizzing Hattifatteners. Along the way, lift the flaps to explore rooms, peek into cupboards and peer behind doors. There are all kinds of amazing things to find!

With simple text, things to spot and flaps to lift on every page, In the Lighthouse is the perfect introduction for little ones to Tove Jansson's world of Moominvalley.

If you like this book, don't forget to join Moomintroll in In the Moominhouse, the first lift-the-flap board book in this series!
About Tove Jansson
Tove Jansson (1914 - 2001) was born in Helsinki to artist parents. She was to become a celebrated artist, political cartoonist and author, but she is best known as the creator of the Moomins, one of the most successful and beloved children's book series ever written. Inspired by summers spent on the islands off Finland and Sweden, Tove created the unique world of Moominvalley and all its inhabitants. The Moomins and The Great Flood, her first book to feature the Moomins, published in 1945. Tove went on to publish twelve Moomin books between 1945 and 1977, which have sold in their millions and been translated into over forty languages. In the 1950s the Moomins became a successful cartoon strip, which was to feature in newspapers all over the world. As the Moomins' fame grew, they began to appear in television series, plays, films and a varied merchandise program soon followed. Tove also painted throughout her life and wrote novels and short stories, including the acclaimed Summer Book. But the Moomin world was never far away. As Tove said, "You feel a cold wind on your legs when you step outside Moomin Valley," In 1966, Tove received the Hans Christian Andersen Award for her lasting contribution to children's literature.
