Manu Pango (Blackbird) is in a panic. His friend and protector, This Dog (Ko Tēnei Kurī), is missing and his nemesis, Tērā Ngeru (That Cat), is on the prowl. Using a simple bilingual English/Māori text, “Where Is This Dog? - Kei hea Tēnei Kurī?” speaks to children about loss, fear and happy outcomes. Rebecca Utting’s fun illustrations bring Ian Munro’s story to life in authentic kiwi settings. Piripi Walker’s literal translation keeps the words simple and clear, so each sentence flows when delivered aloud. Where is This Dog that is my dog? Kei hea Tenei Kuri, ara, taku kuri?
