Father's son

Leevi Lemmitty: Isän poika 2010
Illustrations: Jukka Lemmetty
based on a 3d computer animation.


Mouse family lives in a leg of a grand piano. Father has been a boxer in his youth, now he tunes pianos. His son wants to be a ballet dancer and his father is a bit dissapointed.



One day a huge black cat captures Father Mouse and Son Mouse has to do something about it. It turns out that ballet and boxing have something in common.


Cute story about how parents want to fullfill their dream through their kids and how it always pays off to be true to your self, which isn't always easy.   And I guess every child wants to make their parent proud. I haven't seen the animation, but at least as a book the story works.

Penguin with a wolly hat

Leevi Lemmetty 2012: Pipopingviini
Illustrations: Leevi Lemmetty, Jukka Lemmetty

Penguin with a wolly hat lives at the South Pole. He likes to sit on the ice and fish. All of a sudden another penguin with a tie comes along and starts to talk to the other penguins about getting more fish, more ties and more everything.

The penguin with the tie brings a machine that fishes much more than the penguins can eat. What should be done?

A good lesson to be learned about greedy people. The penguins get the point, when do people?




Jukka Lemmetty has been illustrating Urpo and Turpo and Histamiini among many other books. His style is modern and simplified. It works well with the story
