Momo loves to hide—and you’ll love looking for him! In this follow-up to Find Momo, the canine Instagram superstar (and his best buddy, Andrew Knapp) travel across the United States and Canada, visiting iconic landmarks and unique off-the-map marvels. Look for Momo hiding in Grand Central Station, in front of the White House, and in the French Quarter of New Orleans . . . as well as at diners, bookstores, museums, and other locales that only a seasoned road-tripper like Andrew could find. It’s part game, part photography book, and a whole lot of fun.
Find Momo: Coast to Coast is an adorable book in which the border collie Momo and his buddy Andrew Knapp travel from coast to coast across the United States and Canada. There is a good mix of photos where it is easy to find Momo and ones that challenge the reader’s imagination. I can envision this being a fun book to huddle over with the family in a race to find Momo.
Many of the photos are breathtaking and worth examining in their own right. I love how there is a mix of tourist attractions and everyday life of the people who in live the areas that Momo and Knapp visit. In the midst of it all, Knap captures photos that show Momo making himself right at home. The two’s adventures remind us of the excitement to be found in travel—both in the major attractions and in the quietude of the everyday. Traveling isn’t always about visiting the places well traveled. We also need to remind ourselves to look for adventure in the culture of the places that we visit, and we can’t do that by following the tourist guidebook. Branch out; explore different sceneries.
That said, I do wish that we were given more specific details in the captions about the locations in the photos. If you’re curious about where exactly each photo was taken, you have to flip back to the answer key. Otherwise, I have nothing to complain about!
Find Momo: Coast to Coast is a fun, unique travel book. I love the idea of sharing a road trip through the antics of a dog, and I had a lot of fun searching for Momo (though at times I did get pretty frustrated. Momo isn’t always easy to find!). I would definitely recommend this book to readers, especially those who love furry four-legged creatures like Momo.
