I'm interested on others' thoughts on this. I got into Moomin after Finnish family started gifting me mugs, and I now have a sizable collection. To me as a foreigner, the mugs were my gateway to the actual books. Is your experience that the children around you are getting burnt out on Moomin before they're old enough for the books?

Sometimes mozzarella is called Moomin meat

This is unsettling.

To unsettle you a bit further, cottage cheese is called Moomin mince.
