Thousands of Internet fans play hide-and-seek with Momo the border collie every day, and now you can, too. Momo and his best buddy Andrew Knapp have traveled all over—through fields, down country roads, across cities, and into yards, neighborhoods, and surreal spaces of all sorts. The result is a book of spectacular photography that’s also a game you can play anytime. Lose yourself in page after page of Andrew’s beautiful, serene, dreamlike images, and sooner or later you’ll find Momo’s sweet, eager face looking back at you. (Can’t find him? Don’t worry…the answers are in the back.)
This is a fun fun book. I actually learned about Momo (the dog) on instagram one day when I was exploring on there and saw a picture where people would like and find Momo.. similar to Where's Waldo. When I discovered him on instagram with the hashtag #foundmomo I had to go on the internet to discover who this dog is.  I then discovered there is an entire book full of pictures that you can look through and find Momo so I headed to the library to find this book.

One thing I really enjoyed about the book was at the very end of the book there is a cheat guide on where Momo is in case you can't find him. There is also an explanation about a few of the pictures you see in the book about where and when the picture was taken.  Nice personal touch to the book. I have always been interested in book where you find things.  I am a huge fan of Where's Waldo, though I thought the I, Spy books were a little too easy.  This would be such a fun and perfect book for a guest room in your house.

This book makes me want to be a better photographer!  I mean I am always trying to be one but don't always succeed.  I have two cats though so they wouldn't really be great for me to get hide-and-seek pictures with them. Someone needs to do this with a cat pronto! I like how this book brings some feel good into the world.  Just fun and positive to look at.  You really should add this to who you follow on instagram.  Such a fantastic and fun book!
