Fantail is looking for Takahe, but where can he be? Is he playing with Weka in the snow, or maybe dancing with Kakapo in the glow of the moon? Perhaps he is splashing through puddles with long-legged Pukeko? Look VERY carefully at all the illustrations--could Takahe have been here all along? An exquisite look-and-find story inspired by the true history of New Zealand's flightless and indigo-feathered takahe. Once thought to be extinct, it was rediscovered in 1948--the takahe showing just how good at hiding it is!
