AINO HAVUKAINEN AND SAMI TOIVONEN Tatu and Patu’s Odd Inventions Through the Ages (Tatun ja Patun kummat keksinnöt kautta aikojen) A morning routine machine for making-up or mummifying ancient Egyptians, a mammoth-tooth communication system for Stone Agers, a wheel-separator-block-box for Sumerians! Oddsville thinking would have changed the course of history!”

History would have been different indeed if Oddsville brain capacity had been applied to inventions throughout the ages. When Tatu and Patu rev up their brain cells, they churn out all kinds of original ideas that would have delighted people from the past. Meanwhile, the book gives clues as to what was actually invented at different stages of history. Plus: Tatu and Patu design a school uniform for the future that will turn schoolchildren and their parents green with envy!
