From the award-winning Mauri Kunnas, one of Finland’s most celebrated children’s writers and illustrators, a hilarious picture book full of animals, humor, and colorful pictures. Mr. Clutterbuck is blissfully unaware of his reputation as the busiest and loudest sleepwalker in town. Meek and mild-mannered when awake, at night Mr. Clutterbuck seeks thrills and adventures. Often the accidental instigator of chaos, Mr. Clutterbuck soon becomes the lead singer of a rock band, a disco king, and, eventually, the hero of his town. Goodnight Mr. Clutterbuck is sure to captivate readers of all ages as we wonder what kind of situation Mr. Clutterbuck will find himself in next. With a lively tapestry of characters, including a motorcycle gang of cats and crocodiles, a hippo in charge of a sausage factory, and an ill-tempered bull at a theme park, Mauri Kunnas playfully shows what can happen when you step outside your comfort zone.

Praise

This is a very fun story that kids will love. The exploits of Mr. Clutterbuck are finely and intricately detailed in the wonderful illustrations by Mauri Kunnas.

Katrina Yurenka, Youth Services Book Review
Clutterbuck's hilarious sequence of escapades turns out to have some very positive, but unintended, consequences. The reader is drawn to look in awe as the hapless sleepwalker walks away from the mayhem he unknowingly causes. The dense, cartoon-like illustrations are full of humorous detail. Readers will want to discuss their preferred ride at the amusement park. Would it be the Cyclone, the Gut Churner, the Shake 'n' Quake or the Turbo Whip? Translated from the Finnish, English readers can pour over the illustrations and enthuse about Mr. Clutterbuck's adventures.

The School Librarian Journal

The illustrations alternate between stories in pictures and crowded scenes full of details, to be rediscovered thousands of times.
