Tatu and Patu’s Oddball Bedtime Book
An indispensable book for anyone who sleeps! This book has everything, from instructions for choosing a bedtime toy to a troubleshooting chart for insomniacs. As a bonus, the book includes the world’s most boring bedtime story.
When goddaughter Satu is coming to spend the night at Tatu and Patu’s house, the boys go all out in preparation. Since they will have to put her to bed, they have composed a new treatise entitled On Dreams, Drowsiness, Bedtime, and Lovely Lullabies, or O.D.D.B.A.L.L.
The book explains how to choose the perfect bedtime toy to achieve the optimum stuffed-toy density. There is a troubleshooting diagram for when sleep just won’t come. The boys also figure out how the length of fingernails affects back-scratching and how the soulfulness quotient of a lullaby affects the sleeper’s ability to achieve drowsiness.
The book also tells what really happens when you sleep, and leads Tatu and Patu on a wild adventure in dreamland. The true meaning of sleep is made clear, and the terrifying consequences of prolonged night-owling are only too clearly revealed.

Birgit Arnold/ Finnland-tour.de
"Anyone who doesn't become a Tatu and Patu fan after reading this book can't be helped! Special thanks to the translator Elina Kritzokat, who has succeeded in translating the humour from Finnish into German."
