Momo, the adorable border collie who hides in the photography of his best buddy, Andrew Knapp, is on a 15,000-mile road trip. And you’re invited for a coast-to-coast game of hide-and-seek! Look for Momo hiding in Grand Central Station, in front of the White House, on the streets of San Francisco, and amid quirky back-road wonders that only these seasoned travelers could find.
In this follow-up to Find Momo, their smash first book, Momo and Andrew share a continent-spanning collection of gorgeous new images never seen on their (insanely popular) Instagram feed. Find Momo Coast to Coast is part game, part photography book, part road-trip journal … and a whole lot of fun!

Excellent. Outstanding. My grandson loves it.
It should last for a while (He would have like more detail about the place in the photo
bought for my grandson for whom its a little hard right now,but my son-in-law loves it ! It should last for a while (He would have like more detail about the place in the photo, and wonders if momo really was in that spot or was he photo shopped in..... We REALLY liked the orig MOMO board book (more age appropriate... but this was nice for the adults! Thanks for giving the solutions...lol
Lot's of fun finding MOMO
I saw this book at my dentist's office. I'm a sucker for animals so started flipping through it. Before I knew it I was scouring every page to find MOMO - a Border collie that loves playing 'find me'. She is in every scene, but sometimes it is hard to find her while the photos are of a cross-USA driving trip. I ordered the book for my 9 year old twin granddaughters and as soon as they opened it up they were looking for MOMO. Later Christmas day they were sitting with their other grandmother sharing the book with her. Then she was looking for MOMO after they left. It is addicting and seeing our beautiful country is an added plus.

LOVE THIS BOOK!
I've been following Momo on Instagram for years, but wanted something that I could show others. The photos are large and beautiful. I found momo in all but one (I had to check the key in back!). It took me a bit of time for a lot of them, so I liked the challenge. So glad I bought this! I love Momo!
So much fun!
As a family who has a border collie, we absolutely love this book! We started with the Find Momo board book (which I now give as a baby gift!) so when I saw this I knew it was a must have! Not only is it fun for the kids to find Momo in each landmark picture, but it encourages conversation about the history or meaning of each location. Great book!!
Such a great book for kids
This is such a great book. I bought it because my 6 year old was begging to buy it. Her doctor has both Momo books in her office. So we decided to go to the bookstore. They only had 1 which was the original "Find Momo". I came home and searched on amazon to find the other book "Find Momo Coast to Coast". WOW I couldn't believe the price on here. Amazing. It was less then half of what I spent at the bookstore for the 1st book. Anyways my kids loves this book. I had it for about 6 months now. My older kids don't really bother anymore with it but my 1 almost 2 year old LOVES this book. She loves looking for Momo in all the pages. I can't believe how good she is at finding him with her little eyes & fingers. I can't wait for another Momo book to come out.
More Momo!
I think my grandchildren wore out the original Momo book, it was always a favorite - and requested the moment they came over to visit - they absolutely loved looking for Momo. I'm so excited there's a second book out. I've given it as gifts already - and everyone loves the book!
We Found Momo and Love Him
Our daughter got the first Find Momo book for her 2nd birthday, and it provided her with hours of book reading time (and me with hours of calm!). I couldn't wait to get Find Momo Coast to Coast, and preordered it months ago! We love it! My now almost 3 year old loves, loves, loves Momo, reads one of the two books every single day, shows guests her Momo book, and goes crazy anytime we see a "Momo" dog in public. I only wish the book tour came somewhere near our house because I'd love to see my daughter's face if she got to meet the real Momo!

Get the print copy
This a fun book. I recommend it, with one important caveat. Buy a print copy - NOT a Kindle version. I love kindle, and I prefer to read all of my books in this format. I don't have the room to store print books. But unfortunately, this mostly picture book does not work as a digital book. It will not open on my computer app, and it opens only in landscape on my phone. This way the pictures are way too small. I ended up keeping the e-book because I wanted to support the author. But I got the hard cover print book at the library.
Cute!
My 15 year old grandkids really liked this book. It kept them busy during Covid-19 "shelter in place" along with a few other game books.
Love this book!
I absolutely adore this book. It is the perfect mix of "I Spy" themed photographs (which are beautifully taken) for the dog lovers! Momo is adorable, and I love following his owner on Instagram @andrewknapp

Where's Momo?
This is one of a wonderful series of books featuring the Border Collie, Momo. His human, Andrew Knapp, created beautiful photography as he traveled the United States with Momo. Finding Momo is a treat.
For an older toddler who can hold his attention.
This is like the other MOMO books but bigger and longer, it's just as good but takes more of an attention span. I'm thinking 2 to 3 years or more.
Great for all ages!
Great for adults and kids! Great search and find book for little ones because they don’t have to figure out what they are looking for on each page. Look for the puppy every time! Some pages it is easy to find Momo, some are more difficult. Great photography that adults can appreciate and enjoy!

Perfect. Everything arrived just the way it was planed ! Thanks
Love Momo!!!
My 6 year old daughter loved this book! And I loved the backstory! It was perfect for her level...and way better than old Waldo! I bought this for a road trip and I can't wait to get other Momo books for next time!
Buy one and you want the rest. Momo is adorable!
Super cute! I bought one and I had to have them all. Really well done books. As a border collie lover and owner, you can’t help but fall in love with Momo
Waldo’s great, but he doesn’t hold a candle to Momo
A heartwarming Where’s Waldo? for this century. Sure, Waldo’s great, but he doesn’t hold a candle to Momo, the canine star of the book, who captures me at every location with his piercing eyes, obvious love of adventure, and carpe diem mentality. Momo’s adventures are gorgeously documented by his clearly beloved owner and friend Andrew, and their travelogue is one of my go-to’s every time I want to visually, temporarily satiate my wanderlust, or just revel in the fact that dogs truly are (hu)man’s best friends.
great photography. What more do you need
Cute dog, great photography. What more do you need? I “read” this to my border collie every night before bed and he loves it. Just have to keep his excited drool off the pages...
I Love Momo and his fantastic book!
Andrew Knapp is a fantastic photographer who happens to have a very smart Border Collie that hides for Andrew so he can snap a picture of him. In this "Find Momo" it is truly coast to coast. They went to beautiful and unique places on this adventure! It's great for kids and adults alike. Beautiful scenery, phenomenal photos and a cute dog. What a great book!
Great books. Momo's adventures are the best.
Love these books. So cute and colorful and Momo is adorable.
Have Fun Finding Momo
This books makes a great coffee table book. Guests love to look at the photos and try to find Momo. Thankfully, there is an answer key in the back.
Toddler takeover
If you are a grandparent who sometimes needs a break from chasing your grandchildren around, this is the book! Momo is tiny, but those new little eyes can find him pretty quickly - oftentimes quicker than Gram! And you can talk about climate, locations, and sights to see along the way.
Such a delightful book
This book is very cute. The pages are colorful and the search for Momo is delightful and amusing.
Fun for all.
Fun. Bought as gift. I glanced through it first though. The recipient and I agree it's a cute and fun book for young and old.
Clever, interesting book
Having a border collie myself, I was sort of inspired at all the imagery of the scenic locations (and of course Momo). A clever book that I share with other dog owners who haven't seen it.
Lots of fun!
Gotta luv Momo, but you have to find him first. There were actually two photos that I have to use the hints. This is fun, and after you read it you can pass it on to someone else! Fun, fun book! Luv this dog, and luv trying to find him in the photos. Some of them are HARD!
Suitable for maybe 3 yrs up? Love Momo!
Super cute. We love Momo!
Delightful books!
I leave these books out for guests to read and I have purchased additional copies to share with friends. The photographs capture interesting landscapes beautifully, and the author describes his travels in a whimsical and unscripted way, but the best part is trying to find Momo hidden in the landscape. Such a clever idea for a book.
Another in the series, I bought them all
Momo is a star
I had a border so of course I love this book
Take a trip around the USA with Momo. I had a border so of course I love this book. I also got to see some great sights.
One Smart Border Collie, but then they all are.
I bought the first Momo book for Kindle, but now may go back and get book as this one was so much better to hold in hand. I had an amazing Border Collie for 14 yrs. Momo helps keep her in my heart and I know she could have done this if she hadn't been camera shy.

Awesome book! Third set of Momo books! I think they are awesome!
Awesome book! First, the photography captures the nooks and crannies of tha USA. Then add in Momo hiding in the photo and you have a book for all ages! In half of the photos Momo is easily found. The remaining photos had Momo so hidden or blending in with the background that I got a little anxious looking for him. Momo is so adorable!
So fun
Such a fun, carefree book to pick-up
If you have a Momo, buy her this. Old ppl love dogs.
Gave to my grandmother we call Momo. She loved it. I know it's irrelevant to the book, but I never actually saw the book.
Mimi's a hit with everyone!
I love my Momo Coast to Coast book. It's on my coffee table and every guest also loves it!!! Such beautiful pictures and so entertaining...I'm getting so much fun from this book.
Really beautiful
Beautiful pictures. Makes a great gift.
Beautiful book filled with so much MOMO :) Great gift!!
I could look at Andrew Knapp's stunning photos of his precious dog all day long. Both this and his first book are beautiful achievements, not just photographically. Every single image conveys the love and partnership he and Momo share. Quite a thing to capture. ❤️❤️❤️
Love and Creativity
Creative and enjoyable, a true pictorial of America, through the eyes of a loving Border Collie, and friend. I look forward to the next book, which I hope will by the third of many more.
Such a good book.
This is the second book of finding Momo. My niece loves finding Momo. She is enjoying this book as much as the first finding Momo book. Nicely photographed.
Fun book to have around! Everyone loves it!
Absolutely an adorable book and has provided lots of fun looking for Momo with my granddaughter! Beautiful photography! Even the rest of the family is enjoying the book!
Entertaining for all ages.
I follow momo on Instagram and have a hard time seeing momo in some of the pictures, because they are small. Enjoyed the book and searching. My 10 and 5 year olds both enjoyed it as well and took turns. Fun seek and find. Interesting pictures.
Lots of fun.
Amazing. Was given as a gift but I glanced through it before hand.
A "Where's Waldo" for Dog Lovers!
I purchased this book as a stocking stuffer for my daughter because she has a border collie. It's very cute and the author's dog is adorable. The photos are beautiful and Momo is cleverly hidden in each picture.
Family fun!
Bought this for a family vacation. What a wonderful and creative book for everyone to share! Momo is adorable and seeing the different landscapes from across our country was equally enjoyable. A definite find.
Fun for all ages!

The Odysseus of doggies vexes the senses in an epic road trip around the continent... a goose statue awaits...
Perhaps not too many people now remember the 1971 folk rock hit "Me and You and a Dog Named Boo," but the romance it attempted to capture of a free life on the road hasn't diminished in the popular imagination. Perhaps the slow erosion of social safety nets has rendered such pleasure seeking less feasible in the relatively stark economic times of the 21st century. Regardless, one brave dog has taken on the challenge against all odds, or at least against a few of them. A border collie named Momo - which, by the way, also indicates an extremely tasty Indian, Nepalese and Tibetan dumpling that everyone should stuff their cheek pouches with a la hamster - joined his human companion Andrew Knapp on a dizzyingly circuitous route around the North American continent. In yet another Internet to print sensation, Momo's Instagram page now bloats with ravenous admirers of the peek-a-boo itinerant canine. Momo hides. Or he at least does his best to hide. The point seems to revolve more around capturing cute pictures of a posing doggie rather than creating frustratingly challenging optical illusions. Still, a few of these pictures may vex even the most obstinate practitioners of two dimensional hide and seek. One thing remains certain, Momo will prevail. The ambitiously titled "Find Momo Coast to Coast" is actually a back-by-popular-demand sequel to an earlier collection called "Find Momo." The story begins - admittedly the book does not require much reading, though small journal entries appear before each section; it's a picture book - with Knapp apparently selling his Ontario home, piling all of his life's possessions into a 1977 Volkswagen van (the optimal wanderlust vehicle that seeps traditional counter-culture spores and ghosts of long past Deadhead journeys) and casts away on a freezing Maine morning. Many people dream of such quests, but many people probably don't have pending book deals for extra motivation, either. Momo then makes his furry way around North America's girth, mostly avoiding the the so-called "fly-over" states, much to the despair of those eagerly awaiting a Momo visit to the country's vast midsection. Momo visits both well known and obscure wayside sites. He pokes his head around the Bunker Hill monument, Grand Central Station, the Philadelphia "LOVE" sculpture, Lincoln Memorial, the US Capitol building, the White House, St. Louis Cathedral, White Sands, The Golden Gate Bridge and the gigantic Canadian nickel at Sudbury, Ontario (well, it's well known to Ontarians, at least). Just as, if not more, fascinating are the lesser known quirkier sites such as the abandoned religious theme park in Connecticut, the amazing "Big Duck" in New York, a serpent's head "somewhere in Louisiana," a ghost UFO in Texas, Paul Bunyan and Babe statues in California (wait, shouldn't those be in Minnesota?), a massive Lego-esque Orca in British Columbia and the awe-inspiring "Goose Monument" in Wawa, Ontario. Many of the pictures also include people, which really brings Momo's adventures to breathing, wriggling life. Those with far too much pride bulging in their chests of dense formica may have trouble admitting that all of the pictures are pretty much adorable. Momo is a cute doggie. Just give in, already. Knapp either trained Momo to sit and stare forward with the dedication of a Professor Henry Higgins or Momo just has a natural inclination for sitting still and poking his head cleverly around obstacles at public landmarks. Potentially both. However it happens, it works. Knapp does not reveal, at least not in the book, what happens after his return home. He and Momo just return home. Momo never claimed to be Odysseus, so perhaps the journey just ends and nothing more, so be it. That's okay because the duo didn't have a profound destination or existential purpose in mind other than to travel, photograph and return. And so they did. Though Momo's books appeared in 2014 and 2015, "#gofindmomo" still seems active in 2018. The empire has also expanded. "Find Momo" also has a Portuguese translation, "Ache Momo," and a children's board book fully capable of accommodating emergency hose downs. One can't find Momo through a pile of spewed baby food, after all. So everything seems well with the intrepid border collie. Perhaps he will don his bandana and venture out into the beautiful and often bizarre world sometime again soon. Ahoy, Momo!
And he just happens to like to hide
You might remember me reviewing Find Momo last year - I adored it! Well, Momo is on the move again with his BFF Andrew Knapp. This time it's Find Momo Coast to Coast! 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 they now have over 250,000 followers! Andrew and Momo are on the road again as...."adventure occurs when we embrace change. This book is a game of hide-and-seek, a record of our exploration and a review of the journey...which was, of course, the destination." Coast to Coast takes the duo on a 15,000 mile journey through Canada and the US. And at 100 of their stops, Knapp takes a photo of Momo - hiding. The trick is, of course, to find Momo - although it's not as easy as you would think in some photos! There is an answer key in the back if you get stumped. Knapp is a talented photographer. His shots range from landmarks to off the beaten path areas and attractions. It was those off the main track photos that I enjoyed the most. My only suggestion would have been to have the photos captioned with locations, although these can be found in the answer key as well. And, as I did with Knapp's first book - I adored this one as well. There's great photography, the fun of playing hide and see with a border collie - but also the idea of packing up in yellow VW van and heading out to whatever adventure awaits - with a faithful dog. Find Momo Coast to Coast is just one of those quirky books you can't help but flip through and enjoy. If you liked finding Waldo, you'll love finding Momo.
I'd Rather Be At The Beach: Reviews
Remember those Scholastic find the difference pictures? I loved them! Well this book is kind of like that but it’s only one photo and you have to find a dog. Momo is a border collie who loves hiding while his person takes photos of him. It’s fun to look for Momo, but it’s also neat to see all the photos of the places they travel. I’ve been a Momo fan for a few years. I love trying to find him in the photos Knapp takes. Sometimes it’s easy to spot him, others it’s not. And sometimes I just give up after looking and looking, but I mark the pages I didn’t find him in and keep the book handy so I can go back and hunt for him again. And sometimes again. This is a book everyone can enjoy, and it’s fun to do it together with another person or a few people to see who can spot Momo first! This is the second Momo book, the first was Find Momo: A Photography Book. I haven’t checked it out yet but plan on buying a copy soon.
A fun, unique travel book
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.
Best Book - Our 1.5 Year Old Loves The Series
Our family owns all of the Momo books. They are phenomenal. My daughter started finding Mom at 1 year with the board book and we got the rest of the series. We read several of them each day and she knows where Momo is in all of the pictures. She has also learned to say his name so she announces him on each page. It's been the best. She gets enjoyment out of them and I love looking at them with her. Great for kids who are learning and also perfect for a coffee table book for guests to enjoy. I'm hoping another one comes out soon.
A book with multiple objectives - and succeeds at all of them
“Find Momo Coast to Coast” a most impressive photo-travelogue. Photographer Andrew Knapp loaded up his VW van and drove a circuitous route from New England to his home in Sudbury, Ontario, coming close to crossing North America twice on his journey. He has captured the trip in a unique and wonderful series of photos. The photographs selected for this collection include some tourist attractions, and some “off the beaten track” areas. ALL feature his border collie, Momo, hiding somewhere in the shot. In some cases – desert photos, for example – it's not too difficult to pick Momo out. In others – crowd shots, especially – it can be quite difficult. I found carrying a magnifying glass was a necessity while looking over this volume. (Yes, each section does begin with a little prose and a few other snapshots, in which Momo is either not hiding or is absent altogether, but those are not the focus of the book.) There was one aspect of the formatting which I did not like – in the book, each image takes up a full page (again, excepting the intro to each section), until the Answer Key in the back where each photo is reproduced in miniature and Momo's location is identified. That aspect is fine, but it isn't until you reach this postscript that the LOCATION of each photo is identified, as well. I would STRONGLY have preferred a caption at the bottom of each page, identifying the location. While one may make the case that guessing the locale is another aspect of “Finding Momo”, I reserve the right to disagree. The book is still an incredible collection and is highly recommended. Bring a magnifying glass with you while you review it. RATING: 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5 stars. DISCLOSURE: This book was provided free of charge by the publisher without condition, although an unbiased review review would be a nice gesture. (The fact that it is a favorable review promptly posted will probably be appreciated even more.)
Interesting and fun!
Brought to you by OBS reviewer Kayt Find Momo Coast to Coast: A Photography Book is an interesting and fun filled book for any dog person, travel fan, or Finding Waldo lover. It is a hide-and-seek photography book. Momo and his owner/best buddy Andrew Knapp travel across the US and parts of Canada sightseeing and hiding. Momo is the true star of this book, although the photos of the sights is a close second. This is a fun book for any age, children, adult and seniors alike. Mixed in among the wonderful photos of Momo hiding are great out of the way places across the US and Canada. Some iconic points are there as well. The writing is not over done and has flare and humor. As Andrew Knapp says “My dog is taking a road trip. Can you find him?”. Well there are times when that is easier said than done only to cheat and find Momo is out in the open. The photography is excellent and breathe taking in places and would be worth the price of the book without Momo. However, Momo is a true star and I am sure has his own following. The road trip is so enjoyable and delightful, I only wish we could have been with them. This book gives the reader a chance to visit some well-known places and find some hidden gems. This is a follow up to the author’s successful book Find Momo and is a great little book to read, play hide and seek and just plain enjoy. I gave this to my sister and her husband to take on their own road trip across the USA and they loved seeing some of the same places and searched for Momo. Alas he was not there. I would recommend Find Momo Coast to Coast to readers of any and all ages. The answer key in the back makes it easy for those of us who would go crazy trying to find this wonderful dog and failing. This book has so much to offer and really is a fabulous read. Take a trip with Andrew and Momo and have some exceptional fun along the way. *OBS would like to thank the publisher for supplying a free copy of this title in exchange for an honest review *
Take a road trip with Momo!
Momo loves to hide – and my 4-yr-old grandson loved to find him! We had a very enjoyable time spent with his mom looking for Momo. Sometimes he was a lot faster than we were in spotting that little dog. And sometimes we needed a magnifying glass to spot Momo when he was very tiny in a photo. We thought we found them all but when we looked in the Answer Key at the back of the book, we saw that we were mistaken in one photo and he was actually somewhere else. Momo is black and white and is sometimes hard to find, which makes it just enough challenging that it’s never boring. I think as my grandson gets older, he’ll have more interest in the actual photos and what they’re showing rather than just finding Momo. We spent quite a long time going through every single photo in the book and my grandson still wanted more so we went to the gofindmomo.com website and he spent even more time looking at all the photos there. The book is sectioned off into different groups of the states and providences traveled in the US and Canada and each section has a group of photos with a caption of where they were taken. Often when looking at the main photos, which are not captioned but only say the general area where taken, such as California or the Southwest, I wanted to know more about the photo. I was pleased to see that the small photos in the Answer Key at the back of the book do tell more about each specific photo. The photos are beautiful and even without the fun of finding Momo, they are a pleasure to look at. Those who enjoy photography books will enjoy that aspect. I know I’ll be picking the book up again just to have another look at the photos. So take a road trip with Momo and have some fun with this entertaining, educational book! I won this book in a BookLikes giveaway.
Stunning Photography & the Coolest Dog
It’s not secret that I love Momo! I follow Andrew Knapp’s instagram account, which are full of gorgeous shots like the ones featured in this book and the first book Find Momo. Momo, for those who don’t know him, is a border collie with a knack for hiding in the coolest/most obscure places across the continent. The main goal is simple, Find Momo. However with Find Momo: Coast to Coast Andrew’s other goal was to motivate other people to get out and explore. Instead of going places you’re use to or visiting places that everyone can see, go out and check out the roads less traveled. Find Momo: Coast to Coast is Andrew and Momo’s journey across the United States and Canada which they took in one epic road trip. The book is split into sections like Atlantic Coast, South, and Northwest; and there are several shots from each group of locations. The photography in this book is stunning, and there are several shots I would love to have on my wall because they really do cause a sense of wanderlust. There were a few pictures from Georgia containing locations I’ve never been to or seen, and part of me wanted to make everyone get out the house and go see them. So in that I think Andrew’s goal was a success. This is the perfect coffee table book for the pet and photography lovers out there. It could even be fun for the kids who love search and find books, and provides some awesome opportunities to learn about new places. If you haven’t yet I urge you to go check out Andrew Knapp on instagram or check out his blog GoFindMomo.com
Review: Find Momo Coast to Coast, by Andrew Knapp
It isn’t normally the type of book I’d pick up to “read”, especially to read and wind up reviewing, but I make exceptions every now and then. This is a book of photography based around a road trip across two countries and a dog that loves to hide for photos. Seemed like a fun book to take a look at. Find Momo Coast to Coast is full of some great photographs from various tourist attractions and many places from across the United States and Canada from when Momo, a border collie, and Andrew Knapp took a road trip. On their own, the photographs are worth checking out. With the addition of the game, a Where’s Waldo type game, of finding Momo in each photo, it’s an even better book to take a look at. It’s this mix of game and serious photographic journey that I enjoyed most. There’s even an “answer key” in the back of the book for those who need help spotting Momo. Long with the answer, in the back the location of each photo is listed. For me, I’d personally have liked the location given with each photo. That was my only real pet peeve when looking through the book. I found myself flipping back and forth from the photos to the answer key to find out where it was taken. I would have liked that information paired up with the photo to help keep my flow through the book. It’s a minor thing really, but it’s part of the experience. I’m not sure how well it’ll work in the ebook format. So maybe something to take note of when choosing which format to purchase if you do so. I see that there’s a book called Find Momo that came out before this one. I think I’ll try tracking that one down to enjoy soon. I’m sure it’ll be just as great of an addition to my collection as this one.
A beautiful dog and the open road!!
This is truly a fun book. Anyone who loves dogs, travel, photography and/or culture will find something to enjoy. If, like me, you enjoy all of those things then this book will delight you. I don't think every reader will enjoy the book in the same way, but here is how I view the book personally. Finding Momo in the photographs is not a particularly difficult task, though some are more challenging than others. But that is not really why I would either buy or gift this book. Finding Momo is simply a device to help me to enjoy and pay closer attention to the photographs as both photographs (aesthetics? style?) and as representations of places (history? culture? architecture?). The presence of a beautiful dog is a bonus. In all honesty, some of my favorite photographs in the book are the ones introducing each section where you get a good look at Momo and his interactions with locals. There is a key to finding Momo in the back of the book. Be sure to check it out even if you don't need to, each location is given which will help when planning your own trip to any of these locations.

I love a great book that can span generations of my family and I have one of those to share with you. I remember growing up with those "Where's ...?" So I could not wait to review this book!! I'm really please that I did. My thoughts on this beautiful pictorial book is that it is a fabulous book that the whole family can enjoy. Andrew did a wonderful job with his photographing that you can find something new each time you look at it. I know that I do. We even make it a game to see who find Momo first. I have gone through the book when I had a few minutes here and there since I received it. Some of the photos of Momo were more challenging to find then others and I wasn't bored with the book at all. Then my 12 year old son took it up for a while. I think my 4 year old grandson would enjoy it too as I plan to gift it to him in December. My family thinks this a so much fun and we can look at it together as a whole. I was thrilled to a review on this delightful and fun book and hope to do so in the future again. My family & I give this book a hearty 5 out of 5 stars! ***NOTE*** I this book for free through a BookLikes' giveaways. The opinion given above it is just my thoughts on the book. It has no bearing what so ever in the making of this book.
Adorable quality time
My son was given this as a gift for his 6th birthday. He loves it! We spent a good 45 minutes with it already and haven't found momo in every picture. The photography is just stunning. I really love talking about the different places with my son. I will for sure grab a copy for the next birthday party we will be attending!
Steathy Dog Takes On North America
“Momo and his human are hitting the road traversing North America and photographing famous and not so famous spots along the way. Momo while loving his travel time is very camera shy and his in every shot. It's up to you to find him. What an exciting quest these two are on. I would love to just take off in a van with my dog, it's a dream. Looking at their pictures is a fun way to pass the time while drinking coffee, sipping tea, or munching down some shortbread cookies. They are not difficult, Momo is stealthy but not invisible. It is a travel log of love and simplicity a great picture book for all ages with a story. All members of my household and visitors have picked this up read through it and aww'd at the cute puppy.
Adorable puppy and beautiful photos!
How could you not love a book full of beautiful photos and then a hidden puppers?! This was so adorable! The photography was amazing and I loved finding Momo! I also really liked that before each region/section there was a little blurb about various things about their trip together. It made me feel like I was also going on their adventure to all these places!
find momo coast to coast
I loved the first Find Momo book and couldn't wait to get my hands on the new one! I was not disappointed. I loved all of the pictures and then the added bonus of searching out Momo in each one made the book even more fun. Reading about Momo and Andrew's trip and seeing all of the pictures gave me just a bit of desire to have an adventure of my own. Finding Momo can be fairly simple in some of the photographs, but in others it is almost impossible to find him! It truly looks as if Momo and his companion had a wonderful adventure out exploring the country. I look forward to seeing where Momo plans to hide next time!
live action hide and seek with a cute collie
I LOVED this book. I have recommended it to anyone with a youngish child that I can think of. I cannot wait to go over it with my nieces whenever they visit. The book is broken up into regional sections. Each section has a short introduction followed by pictures from the authors travels. Each picture has a hidden Momo. Some are harder to find than others but they are all fun to look at. I didn't know until I read the book that its the second book, and there is a blog so I may be the only person who has never heard of Momo before, but I sure found him fun. I received this book for free through the Goodreads First Reads program in exchange for an honest review.
Momo on the Move!
What I love about the Find Momo books is the fact that it’s not just photos but there’s little description pages about Andrew and Momo’s time in different places. It’s like a journal entry on their time together!
Adorable dog; Fun coffee table book
Words cannot describe the special place Momo has in my heart. Not only is he so cute and the photography beautiful but Andrew's Instagram account was something that originally bonded me and my fiancé when we first started dating. I would send shots for him to find Momo. When we saw that Andrew and Momo were in Palm Springs checking out the Desert X Mirror House installation, we actually took a trip out there because it looked so cool. This is a beautiful book that's a great conversation piece as well. I also love the idea of supporting Andrew's art and not only do we love our Momo books but we have a Momo print hanging in our home. If you're looking for a fun book, look no further!
The photos are really pretty and its so hard and fun to find Momo
I just received this book from Quirk Books as a sweepstakes prize. What an interesting book! The photos are really pretty and its so hard and fun to find Momo. I can't wait to hunt for him with my 6 year old granddaughter. I really like the answer key that tells you where the pictures are from. I highly recommend it. My granddaughter came over and I was right she enjoyed finding Momo. The first thing she said was, "Grandma, can I take this book home?"
Such a wonderful pair. We bought their books and have enjoyed ...
My husband and I met Andy and Momo in KY. Such a wonderful pair. We bought their books and have enjoyed every second of them We leave them out and friends and family gravitate toward them and end up asking, "Where can I get a copy?" (We won't even give away our copies to the Grands!) Never get tired of looking at the amazing photography and can't wait to buy book 3. Happy trails Momo and Co.
Inspiring Travel Photography
This book captures three of my favorite things in life- inspiring travel, incredible photography, and the most photogenic dog I've ever seen. Andrew Knapp soulfully and creatively places his dog Momo in some of the most unique hiding places across the country and envelops these journeys through incredible pictures that have only gotten better. The first book was a true inspiration and I never could have imagined that the second one would be even more. If you want a fun book that will challenge your "I Spy" senses through an adorable border collie, then this is the book for you.
Gorgeous photography + sweetest pooch on the internet = WIN!
What a wonderful book this was =} It was given to me as present (because I loved the first one) and it was a lovely surprise. I loved all the beautiful photos and Momo is such a clever and charismatic pooch =} This is a very fun volume full of gorgeous photography, it always makes me smile to try and work out where Momo is hiding =} I thought the locations were very intriguing, not your run of the mill standard spots, and that made it even more fun. There's just something really enjoyable and relaxing in finding Momo, he always gives a cheeky twist to the photos (which are beautiful anyway). I had to read it little by little because it was such a nice treat and I didn't want to finish it too quickly! Hope there's a volume 3 =}
Excellent choice
This is a lovely book with beautiful and amusing pictures of North American scenery and points of interest. Plus, you get the fun of trying to find Momo in each setting. It would be a nice hostess gift for travel or dog lovers. I guess in our home it is a "coffee table book". It is one I truly enjoy looking at when I have a quiet evening at home.
He loved it. Highly recommended for children who enjoy seek ...
I won this book from Goodreads First Reads. My son had a blast with this book! He loved it. Highly recommended for children who enjoy seek and find! I would also like to add that by putting Momo in real settings it made the reader really focus on the beauty of our world.
Great for a tabletop book.
Such a cute book with really beautiful pictures that tell so much story. There isn't much to say about this book, except that it's beautiful and Momo is adorable. Great for a tabletop book. **I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.**
Awesome!
Great for kids and adults alike! Bought for my niece (age 5) and nephew (age 3), who are both absolutely obsessed with Momo. Harder than the first book, which makes it perfect for adults as well, so we keep it on the coffee table.
Highly enjoyed and highly recommended.
Such a wonderful book. The photography and subject are all fantastic. The book is also enjoyed by everyone that visits and finds it on the coffee table, from kids to their grandparents.
Wonderful for animal lovers of all ages
Andrew is a wonderful photographer and storyteller, and his passion for both come forth in these books. His love of Momo is in every page, which only makes the reader fall in love with this plucky pup. I would recommend this book to anyone, and I will be purchasing a copy for my friend and baby son to read together.
A lovely book to have!
There is absolutely no good reason why you shouldn't purchase this book. It's colorful cover cheers up a coffee table and the contents are capable of cheering up anyone. You can sneak peaks of Andrew Knapp's work on his instagram and face book page, and after you fall in love with Momo, buy one of his books!!
❤️ Momo!
We love Momo! I’ve followed him on IG for a while and I love these books. I run a piano studio out of my home and keep these books in my waiting area for parents, students, and younger siblings to page through. Everyone loves them! Momo is adorable and finding him on the page is always a treat.
Worth every cent!
Besides playing ball with my border collie, reading books and looking at pictures of border collies is a close second. Andrew Knapp does any excellent job showcasing Momo’s spirit of adventure!
Momo is a very good boy <3
I felt in love with Momo a while ago looking at Andrew's photos on Instagram. He is the sweetest, most lovable dog. Momo's books are as awesome as he is - plus, they make very good presents for people that love dogs! I absolutely recommend this book and the two others, the pictures are all incredibly beautiful and Momo is (as always) a great boy <3
I know she's going to love it! Thank you Andrew for keeping the child ...
I bought this book for my boyfriends grandmother who loves dog books. She seems to get a new one every Christmas! Just from seeing some parts of the book, I know she's going to love it! Thank you Andrew for keeping the child in us alive with you and your sweet pup!

Love finding Momo in all these beautiful photos! A more relaxing I Spy!

Colorful and fun, this book promotes your inner travelbug to join Momo's journey from one coast to the other! Plus Momo's adorable face is everywhere. Good book to stash around the house for kiddos, dog lovers and travelers. 🧡🧡
Momo is a very smart border collie - and a sweet one too
Momo is a very smart border collie - and a sweet one too! It is clear that Andrew got a soul mate the day that little collie rolled over for a belly rub. The two of them together are just plain delightful - and the photographs of Momo hiding are always good for a smile. If you get to meet them in person - even better!!
Found Momo!
After following Momo and Andrew on Instagram for years I finally "splurged" and bought the book! It's so fun and a great book to place on the coffee table for guest to look at and play along with!

Everyone needs a Momo book!
I met Momo and Andrew in real life on the book tour and bought this so Andrew could sign it. It was worth every penny. Gorgeous pictures and Momo.....maybe the cutest dog ever! Plus it's so much fun to find Momo and when I can't there's always the key in the back to help.
100 stars!
Perfect gift for any age!

I recently had the opportunity to met Momo and Andrew in Boulder, Colorado. Such a fantastic pair. I love the message you’re sending out to the world – enjoy the present moment. Thanks for letting me take a picture of Momo and my border collie Jude! Safe travels :o)
Wonderful and fun book for people of all ages
Wonderful and fun book for people of all ages! Momo, the cute border collie is the star of this book and he's hiding in so many unique and historical places. Marvelous photography detailing a cross country trip. You'll recognize some places and wonder about the "who-what-where-why" of other scenes.
... Momo Coast to Coast is more than a really great book to share with children
Finding Momo Coast to Coast is more than a really great book to share with children; it inspires conversation, imagination, art and photography. It's as engaging for adults as it is for children. You'll find yourself laughing, talking, musing and smiling while perusing Finding Momo.
Wonderful book for everyone!
Andrew Knapp is an amazing photographer so you'll see his fabulous imagery with the added fun of looking for Momo. It's Where's Waldo while seeing the country!
