Tatu and Patu: Tremendous Train Trip
by Aino Havukainen & Sami Toivonen
Description
The excitement and loveliness of travelling are revealed as readers join Finland’s most popular picture book heroes on an exhilarating train journey.
Tatu and Patu are travelling on a train for the very first time – what does one pack on a train journey: Hot chocolate induced underwear and mashed all-you-can-eat, of course. The joy of discovery in the train leads into the most hilarious train trip towards Helsinki in new comic album design.
Back to the basic oddness and essence of these curious brothers.
