“She told him and began to yelp. ‘She ran away! Oh, Moomin, help! Moomintroll frowned, ‘Well, let’s begin by checking it she’s in this tin. Some villain might have stashed her in it.’ Now guess what happens in a minute.”
Mymble says, ‘Quick, let’s go. She’ll bite.’ And Moomintroll says, ‘Yes, quite right. Perhaps your sister’s in this cave?’ They tiptoe in. They must be brave. And find poor little My somehow.”
“Mymble is Little My’s sister and Snufkin’s half sister. Their mother is also called Mymble, but being an amiable and helpful big sister, Mymble soon took responsibility for looking after all her younger siblings.”
“A moomin picture book with rhyming text. Little my is missing, so moomin helps her sister Mymble search for her. On the way they meet lots of characters from Moomin valley. ”
“Here’s little Moomintroll, none other, harrying home with milk for mother. Quick, Moomintroll, it’s nearly night. Run home while there’s a bit of light. Don’t hang around in woods like these, strange creatures lurk between the trees.”
“Beyond the forest, bathed in light, the air tastes fresh. The grass glows bright. The sun shines down on fields of flowers. Moomintroll’s walked for hour and hours but, happy to be homeward bound., he kicks his legs and leaps around.”
“That’s not a roof or chimney pot- It’s Mymble’s hair, tied in a knot! She is weeping on a big tin can, Poor thing, thought Moomintroll, and ran to Mymble, begging, ‘Please don’t cry! ‘I’ve lost my sister, little My.”
“This rhyming story, strongly reminiscent of Dr. Seuss, has Moomintroll, the Mymble’s Daughter, and Little My traveling trying to get home to Moominmamma with the milk she asked for. ”
“Among the boulders piled up high there is no sign of Little My. They searched and search but find no trace. The bitter wind whips Mymble’s face. Moomintroll feels extremely glum. He wants his home, his bed, his mum. Where is the warm and sunny day?”
