Growing up in rural Morocco under the shadows of the Atlas mountains, the young goat herding MoMo is discovering the secrets of money and magic. With his best friend, a running duck called 'Duck' at his side, MoMo is convinced that everything is possible. Although neither of them can fly, he figures all they have to do is keep practising. However, something is bothering him. Each spring and each autumn, geese fly by his home which creates a burning question that no-one seems to be able to answer. Where are the geese going?

ADVANCED READER REVIEW: "....MoMo is not special....it‘s extraordinary
“MoMo - The Egg” the first part in a tetralogy by Mark Playne, is a book you would usually find under the “children’s book” category of any given library, while in fact MoMo, just as de Saint-Exupéry “The Little Prince”, is not your ordinary story, it goes way back beyond the scope of your regular “children's literature” genre.

MoMo is an ageless tale... a book full of wonder and fantasy; as well as a tale reminiscent of times past, when reality and fantasy went hand in hand and complemented each other; a remembrance to every adult reader of the child we once were; a recall of the child we keep hidden behind all layers of serious adulthood; a new way to muse about live and things and of course a wonderful children’s story for every time of the day. The kind of book that keeps being remembered for years to come. One of these precious gems we still conserve from our own childhood…. MoMo is not a special book, it is simply extraordinary!.."
