Mom's Review
I love how short and simple the adventure is in The Last Dragon in Moominvalley, yet the topic is profound. When Moomintroll inadvertently catches a tiny dragon, he wants to keep it as his own private pet. The dragon, however, prefers the company of Snufkin. Although this leads to jealousy on Moomintroll's part, Snufkin so values their friendship that he arranges for the tiny creature to be released back into the wild far from himself. Acknowledging the difficult emotions, respecting one another, and revering relationships happens so naturally in the story that readers are organically encouraged to appreciate the complexity of emotions and relationships as well as the value of considering the feelings of others.
