If you loved following Moominmamma and Moomintroll as they press on through the dark forest, boat across the rising waters, and finally find Moominpappa adrift on a floating house, you’ll relish Dorothy’s determined journey in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Like the Moomins’ quest, Dorothy’s path to the Emerald City is clear and propulsive, full of charming encounters (Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, Cowardly Lion) and small acts of kindness that keep everyone moving toward home.

You enjoyed how the story stays close to a tiny family—sharing treats from Moominmamma’s handbag, making a boat, and keeping spirits bright even as the flood rages. My Father’s Dragon offers that same intimate feel: Elmer sneaks away with tangerines and string to rescue a baby dragon, solving one small problem at a time with wit and warmth, much like the Moomins’ gentle, practical adventures.

If the calm optimism of Moominmamma—comforting Moomintroll, befriending strangers like the tulip-girl, and finding a new home after the flood—made you smile, Winnie-the-Pooh will feel like a warm blanket. Pooh and friends meet every tangle with gentle humor and loyalty, turning small mishaps into cozy adventures, just as the Moomins transform peril into companionship.

If the odd, playful magic of a girl living in a flower and the Moomins’ chance meetings with uncanny folk delighted you, The Enchanted Castle brings that same loose, mischievous wonder. A sleep-prone ‘princess,’ a magic ring with a mind of its own, and spells that misbehave turn everyday explorations into delightful surprises—much like the Moomins’ serene acceptance of enchantment.

If the story’s folklore glow—Hattifatteners on the move, a world remade by flood, and a new valley waiting at journey’s end—enchanted you, Odd and the Frost Giants taps that same vein of Northern myth. Odd meets a fox, a bear, and an eagle who are more than they seem, then faces the frozen realm of the giants with quiet bravery, echoing the Moomins’ gentle courage in a myth-touched landscape.
