Mauri Kunnas


Mauri Kunnas' books are very well known in Finland and I'm not surprised! He does mostly children's books and I still enjoy reading them, probably because of the humour and his illustrations which are amazing! There are so many details in most of the illustrations that you can look at them for ages and always find a small character in a corner somewhere that you hadn't noticed before. Most of the characters are dogs but there is also for example a sleepwalking goat called Mr Hakkarainen who never really has a role in the stories but you can always spot him sleepwalking in the most random places!
