Who spilled that blue paint? There's a messy mystery afoot, and Detective Clue-keko needs your help to solve it!

Watch out for cartoonist Toby Morris's flying dad jokes in this delightful visual and verbal play on words that rhyme with pūkeko, one of Aotearoa New Zealand's most iconic and personality-laden blue birds.

Join the hunt and follow the paint trail with Detective Clue-keko as the pūkeko chaos accumulates. And who-keko knew-keko that so many words rhyme with pūkeko?

With even more comic fun to be spotted in the eye-catching illustrations, this story is for children aged 3–7 (and their not-so-serious adults) and will be on repeat read throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.

Be warned - pūkeko rhyming is VERY contagious!
