This series does not have the quality of artwork I would associate with moomin books, the style is cartoon like and the colours are more realistic but they are nice enough with an interesting plot.
Moomin finds a little Dragon who is very cute but obviously needs to be in the wild like nearly all animals. Moomin fights against his desire to keep the little Dragon and does what he knows is best for an animal which is to be in it's natural habitat. A good story about considering the needs of others.

Sød historie, både om hvordan det kan være rart at have en hemmelighed for sig selv, men i højere grad hvordan man kan være en god ven, uden at man behøver fortælle nogen om det. Mumrikken ❤️
