      Beautiful photography, super cute dog!
    • 5/5
      I LOVED this book- it is so awesome (and to be honest- I'm more of a cat person) The photographs are awesome and it is not always easy to find Momo- but when you do you can't help but smile at that cutie!! Kids LOVE this book as well. A win-win!! It would make an excellent birthday or holiday gift, and I don't know the author or have any other reason to say that other than that it's true!!

      FIND MOMO and FIND MOMO COAST TO COAST are two of the most fun where's-he-hiding photo books ever to be enjoyed by both adults and kids of all ages.Andrew Knapp captures perfectly the sheer love between humans and animals. And MOMO? > we ALL want HIM!!!
    • 5/5
      love this book. reminds me of my dog momo who was an Australian shepherd.
    • 4/5
      In Andrew Knapp's Finding Momo, we are tasked with finding Momo, the border collie, hidden within the picture somewhere. Each picture features Momo peeking his head out from behind one thing or another, and I was able to find him in every picture without using the included solutions in the back.Before I had a copy of this book in my hands, I thought it would be more akin to Where's Waldo, only with a black and white dog instead of a red-and-white sweatered hiker. When I finally got a copy, it felt more like a coffee table-caliber photobook that just happened to have a border collie on every page. I ran the book by my toddler daughter, and she was less than enthused about finding the dog, and more enthused with turning the pages to see the colorful landscapes.Nevertheless, I'm unsure about who the primary demographic of this book would be. Obviously, fans of the Instagram feed for Momo would be a target audience, but beyond that? It certainly didn't strike me as a book that I would get for my daughter's enjoyment, even if she actually wanted to find hidden dogs in pictures, but rather feels like a book that fans of photography would purchase, particularly fans of photography and border collies (well, I do happen to know people like this, but I doubt everybody else does). While it seemed like a children's book in theory, in practice, it fell into some book category limbo.If you are a fan of Knapp's Instagram feed, then perhaps you too will like finding Momo on glossy color pages. Otherwise, this book may be too niche for you.
    • 5/5
      A lovely, fun book of beautiful photographs, in which you can Find Momo (think Where's Waldo, but with a cute border collie instead). I don't keep many Early Reviewer books, but I'm hanging on to this one.
    • 4/5
      Fun book for children who love dogs and are fans of "Where's Waldo." Momo is a beautiful border collie who is is hiding in plain sight in more than 100 photos of landscapes, streetscapes and other locations. I was impressed with the quality and composition of the photos; even more impressed with the dog's willingness to stand still long enough for his owner to take the photos! No way would my BC stand for that.
    • 4/5
      This was an enjoyable coffee table style photography book. Momo is adorable and the photos are interesting. As another reviewer mentioned, I too expected a more "Where's Waldo" style. Even though it is not really akin to WW, I was not disappointed however. There are several photos that, if your reading light is not bright enough, Momo is difficult to find. I found the answer key in the back of the book with location information particularly interesting, and found more appreciation for the photos throughout the book that had a little anecdote to go along with them. This will definitely be a fun book to go through with my nieces!

      Find Momo: My dog is hiding in this book. Can you find him?The title says it all. The black-and-white red-scarf-clad border collie invites the reader to find him in a variety of locations. The pictures are interesting and varied; the dog quite small and not always easy to find.This is fun book for readers of all ages. It makes a great read together book with children, and a good way for adults to while away a few minutes.The dog is charming and the photographs interesting on their own.
    • 4/5
      Delightful book of photographs that appeals to adults on an aesthetic level and kids on puzzle level. My four-year old grandson enjoyed going through the pictures with me trying to spot the dog Momo and it's a rare thing to have his attention for that long on something other than an iPad computer game.
    • 4/5
      I love great photography, and I love animal books. Find Momo is a perfect combination of both. The sweeping photos of Canadian and American sites, as well as the delightful task of finding a cute dog, make this one of the more enjoyable coffee table books I've ever had the pleasure to read. Definite favorite, and I look forward to seeing Maddie On Things as well.A small note, it would be nice to have the locations of the photos listed on the actual page, rather than in the back section. Other than that, great book!
    • 5/5
      I am a dog person and Andrew Knapp has created a wonderful photo book that can be enjoyed by people of every age dog lover or not. Knapps photos of rural and urban settings with a cute little black and white face peeking out is a pleasure to read and experience. Some photos are quite challenging to find Momo in, and all are artfully done and a lot of fun. I am impressed with Momos talent of the command 'stay', something I am always working on with my dogs. Beautiful photos and highly recommended!
    • 5/5
      Who is Momo you ask? Well Momo is Andrew's border collie. And he just happens to like to hide. And he sits really still while Andrew takes a picture of him. Lots of pictures. Andrew started sharing them with his Instagram friends.....who shared them with their friends.... who shared it with.... and in a few weeks there were more than 50,000 followers! Blogs and news outlets picked up the story as well. "Watching the photos go viral was fascinating. Maybe it's the photography, or maybe it's the game of hide-and-seek. I would hope it's a mix of the two."Andrew is a very talented photographer. His choice of backgrounds for the Momo photos are eye catching before you even begin to look for Momo. And looking for Momo is fun - and not as easy as you would think in some photos. Find Momo is just one of those quirky books you can't help but read. And enjoy. If you liked finding Waldo, you'll love finding Momo. The little tidbits that Andrew shares about Momo are fun and Knapp himself is pretty interesting. Check out his website. And I would love to take a road trip on backroads with my dog as well!Knapp posts a new photo everyday on GoFindMomo.com or you can follow along on andrewknapp on Instagram as well. (Peek inside Find Momo)Now, I must admit I have a bias.....I too have a border collie. Abby is getting on in years - she's twelve now. But she is still light on her feet, appearing where you least expect her to. She's the best listener in the world and her big brown eyes are so expressive. And like Momo, she's a head tilter - I do think it's a Border Collie thing.

      What fun! "Find Momo" is a book I won through LT's Early Reviewer program, and a book that I plan to keep. The author has compiled photos of his Border Collie, "Momo", hiding in different settings...sort of like a canine "Where's Waldo". It's not always obvious where Momo is hiding in each picture, but if you give up, the answers are at the end of the book.Enjoyable for all ages!
    • 5/5
      This delightful book arrived yesterday, and of course, I promptly sat down and enjoyed finding Momo on every page!! The photos are so beautiful and interesting, even without the fun of finding a little black and white border collie, that you could just page through the book for the scenery. Then at dinner, my 87 year old mother in law and her 90 year old friend were here--and they poured over the photos, happily exclaiming, "there he is!" as they discovered Momo in many of the pages. I can't wait to share with my 5 year old grandson. Nicely bound, the book is printed on thick paper with great resolution. It can be enjoyed by dog lovers, children, and anyone who likes hide and seek! Also there is a 'answer key' in the back (there was only one photo that I just couldn't find Momo--some are harder than others!), along with more information about Momo and where each photo was taken. Knapp also has a few pages regarding the history of the "find Momo" phenomenon.Easily wins the "fun-est" book I've received as an Early Reviewer, and I enjoyed giving it a read.

      What a precious, delightful book! I thoroughly enjoyed my time finding Momo in all the wonderful photography. I am already thinking of people who would love a copy of this book. Thank you, Andrew Knapp, for sharing Momo and making me smile!
    • 5/5
      I see that several of my friends here have been as fortunate as I to get a copy of this book through the Early Reviewer givaway. This is a great book! It has a universal appeal. Knapp's photography in itself is personable and worthy of publication. Momo doesn't intrude on the beautiful pictures, he's just a fine addition. Peek! Good Momo! I can't wait to share the book with my grandchildren and others.It's a very good quality softcover, and the book dimensions feel 'juuust right.'
    • 5/5
      What an awesome book. I loved Momo. Mr. Knapp is a very talented photographer. This is such a great idea for a book. Combining fun with photos from all over. This pictures just popped off the pages of the book. While I did have fun finding Momo, I could not help but savor the locations that Andrew and Momo went. Even if I found Momo really fast in some of the pictures. One of my favorite things however was learning about Momo...his likes and dislikes. Adding these facts made me love Momo even more as if I had known him all my life. This book would make a great table top book. Because of the beautiful pictures and you could challenge your friends to who can find Momo the fastest. A good conversation piece. This book would make a great gift. Find Momo is a winner!
    • 5/5
      When I showed this book to my daughter, age 17 and son, age 14, their reactions were priceless. My daughter said, "So Momo just runs and hides? That's so adorable!" Then they started looking through the book; all I heard was "Found him!" "Found Him!" "Oh my God, this is so CUTE!" "There he IS!" My daughter actually screamed when she saw the second to the last page where Momo is laying on his back getting a belly rub. "This is... Oh my God, it's so cute, I can't... Oh, look at him!"We have a dog, Eddie, that is part Border Collie and he looks just like Momo, except Eddie is tan. My kids compared what Momo was doing in the photos to what Eddie would be doing instead. Eddie isn't nearly as patient as Momo seems to be.This was a fun book to look at and enjoy with the kids. It's perfect for any age to enjoy.

    ON THE ROAD

    Adventure occurs when we embrace change.

    In November 2013, with the sale of my house finalized and my entire life now contained within an adorable 1977 Volkswagen Westfalia van, I made a decision to expedite change. My border collie, Momo, and I sat in the front seats and left my hometown for a twenty-five-state, five-province tour of North America.

    I was geared up to explore and to share Find Momo, my first book. (To recap: Momo became a bit of a sensation a few years back as the star of an Instagram game of hide-and-seek photography.) Throughout our 15,000-mile
