Tatu and Patu Go to Work

The hilarious Oddville boys Tatu and Patu get the chance to experience a day in a dozen different occupations. What sort of work is done by a carpenter, a teacher, a musician, a cleaner, a mechanic, a nurse, a journalist, or a secretary in an office?

The boys get a chance to try out exactly twelve different occupations! The basics of the various professions and the most important tools of the trade are presented in the typical ingenious and amusing Tatu and Patu fashion. The farmer’s yearly round of ploughing, sowing, and filling in EU applications is like a board game, and the boys eagerly examine all the fire-fighter’s gadgets on the fire truck. Tatu and Patu also get to display their – rather limited – skills as a hairdresser and a baker. 

Tatu and Patu Go to Work is a great picture book that authentically presents different professions through the ingenious humour that is classic to the Oddville boys. Not only does the reader learn how things are done in different jobs through great illustrations, they also learn more what type of professions there are in general!
