Tatu and Patu: Monster-Monster and Other Strange Stories
It was a dark and stormy night… Tatu and Patu and their friend Veera gather to tell strange and scary stories about odd characters and unusual events, such as The Unbelievable Tale of Drandruff and The Frozen Lightning. Even a few monsters will make an appearance.
Have you heard of the Monster-Monster, a creature that is built of all the monsters in the world? Or have you heard the story of Vlad the Explainer, the prince of excuses? There even is the tale of the mysterious fruit scale which makes products go crazy once you place them! What about the story of the wild bicycle, which only children can tame?
These untamed stories are bound to entertain readers of all ages as Havukainen and Toivonen will also impress with their astonishing illustrations created with great detail. A collection of exciting comical fables, they will keep five-year olds and older readers hooked. This is the 21st book in the popular Tatu and Patu series.
Watch the talented duo as they come up with the idea for this book and create it from start to finish:

"Although Tatu, Patu and Veera tell “horror stories” in the book, they are not really wild or scary, but mostly goofy and funny. [...]The book is wonderfully comforting in the style of Tatu and Patu.
It’s fun, exciting enough, immersive and surprising. The book has humour for both adults and children."
