Tatu and Patu’s Mad Machines
Tatu and Patu build fourteen bizarre but undeniably useful devices, without which no family with kids can afford to be. Or what do you think?
The Oddville boys put on their creative hats and build fourteen bizarre devices which, however, turn out to be unquestionably interesting ideas. Could someone manage without a wash-and-toothbrush automat in the mornings, without a puddlemaker in the playground, a yucky-food detector at lunch, an ice-cream-ball game, a hair-grower, or a handy bogeyman-repellent?
This hilarious and amazingly detailed book will delight readers of all ages, by amusing children as well as adults with engineering backgrounds, when seeing how Tatu and Patu put their own spin on inventing new things!

Reviews
Kanchala Navanugraha, Nava Books (Thailand)
"The reception was overwhelming. Kids are at home and parents are looking for activities. The book is great as we all know. And Finland is already a brand to Thai parents. Parents have been sending us messages, saying that they are very happy to see their kids laugh and have fun reading. They are sending photos and videos of their kids reading and their drawings."
Birgit Arnold/ Finnland-tour.de
"Tatu and Patu have long been famous characters in Finland. We would now like to wish them the same status in the German-language book market. The great Leonardo da Vinci would certainly be envious of their visionary inventions."
