Thank you Chouette Publishing and NetGalley for providing me access to this ebook.

I think the illustrations are good and I appreciate how this book introduces various dog breeds to children, but the actual story fell flat, I thought I may be unfairly judging this book, so I decided to read it again but to my two children. Both of them were bored and said they didn’t carry for the story. My youngest (girl, 5 years old) loved the illustrations, but had nothing else positive or helpful to say. My other child (girl, 7) said she liked the pictures and dogs, but wanted more adventure in story,

Overall, not a story I’d recommend. The illustrations raised my rating from one star to two stars.

I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are my own opinions.

What a fun story! I enjoyed looking at the image to find Momo's hair and see if it's another dog who has it.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book for free in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

I will start off by saying that I am not a huge fan of clowns, but I also don't necessarily fear them or hate them. However, I thought this book was very charming. In a way, this book gave me Eric Carle vibes or maybe even Madeline vibes. I thought it was a very clever and charming story. I also loved the colorful illustrations. This book will be fun for children and may help them see that clowns aren't always scary!

Follow the journey of Momo’s hair after it flies off his head and finds itself in some peculiar and interesting places.

This was a fun read that didn’t take itself too seriously. Sometimes it’s nice to have a book with no underlying lesson and just a bit of fun. The illustrations were colourful and eye catching and are a big draw to little children.

Myself and my little girl look forward to seeing where Momo’s hair goes next.

This is a very weird funny book. I would absolutely love the chance to read this with a whole group of kids because it would be so easy to get them to interact with this story. The pictures are kind of simple and bright and you keep seeing the wig go from one person to another to a dog, etc and I am an adult who was giggling while I found the hair in the picture.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

My 3 year old and I loved this one! He loved trying to follow the hair on each page and tried to see where it was going next. I loved the illustrations they are bright and catch the eye. I would read to my classroom!

A cute fun read about a friendly dog who helps a clown and has adventures all around town.

My little one enjoyed the stories and the illustrations

A cute little book for dog lovers as they help Momo the Clown chase his wig all over town and try to spy it in the different fun scenes. The drawings are old fashioned and I would hsve liked more colour but that's a personal gripe. With so much going on, more colour might have proved too distracting.for younger readers. The formulaic prose makes it easy for children to join in. A very good read!

An inoffensive but daft bit of silliness, as a chap loses his humongous bouffant wig to the wind when he runs for the bus, only for it to land on a dog's head. It then gets to travel from hound to pooch to this to that, all the while the dog breed tries (not very hard) to rhyme with its owner, and we get a bit of a wacky piece of stuff and nonsense. The artwork certainly evokes the primary school, the rhymes (even in translation) really should have worked more, and the whole just didn't seem to impress – it's OK at best.

Where Did Momo's Hair Go? by Stéphanie Boyer, Caroline Hamel
the Illustrator and Carine Laforest the Translator, was a fun book to read with my nephew. The pages where brightly coloured throughout which will attract small children.

The best sound in the world; is to hear my nephew laugh out loud and this book did just that Plus, he wouldn't stop talking about Momo the clown especially when his hair flies of his head as he runs to catch the bus..........Where did Momo's hair go?

This book was wonderful from start to finish. We both loved it.

An adorable fun chase after a clown's wig from dog to dog. Very fun and the illustrations are vibrant and exciting. I only wish there had been some diversity in where the hair was going, not sure why it was from dog to dog. Overall enjoyed this one and my 4 year old son loved it.

Where Did Momo's Hair Go? was a nice story about a clown who lost his hair in a rush. My 5 year old son loved the colors and liked pointing out the different items on the pages that he understood. My 11 year old daughter brought up good questions about the different types of dogs and activities in the book.

Thank you for allowing my family to read this book in advance, in exchange for our honest review.

Where Did Momo's Hair Go?, written by Stéphanie Boyer and illustrated by Caroline Hamel, is a delightful children's book that takes readers on a laugh-out-loud journey of a little clown's wig. The story follows Momo the Clown as he runs to catch a bus, only to have his hair fly off his head. The book takes young readers on an exciting adventure to find Momo's hair through a busy town, encountering a host of amusing characters and their even more colorful dogs in silly situations that will keep children giggling until the last page.

The illustrations in the book are whimsical and colorful, with each page depicting a different scene in the town. The characters and their dogs are hilarious and add to the humor of the story. The text is simple and easy to read, making it a great choice for young readers who are just starting to read independently.

What sets Where Did Momo's Hair Go? apart from other children's books is its ability to make children laugh. The story is silly and fun, and the characters are so outrageous that children will be laughing out loud as they read. The book also has a positive message about the importance of staying true to oneself, even when things don't go as planned.

Overall, Where Did Momo's Hair Go? is a fantastic children's book that will have young readers laughing and engaged from start to finish. The illustrations are delightful, the characters are hilarious, and the story is both fun and meaningful. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a great children's story that will entertain and inspire.

Beautiful illustrations that help children interact with the story. Momo’s hair has quite an adventure. The ending allows children to create the next adventure for Momo’s hair!

What a cute read! The illustrations are unbelievably beautiful; I want to hang some of these pages on my walls as art. I'm particularly fond of the naughty squirrels.

The story itself is not the most gripping in children's picture book history, but it is silly and quite fun when paired with those illustrations. (Those illustrations! I'm still not over them.) Parents and kids will have the most fun inspecting each page to discover all of the adorable, inventive details.

This was perfect for preschoolers. My almost four year old ate it up. This book employs the patterned text format that this age group loves. My kiddo liked predicting where Momo’s hair would end up next. Also, I loved the bright illustrations!
