Momo Sees the Sea

Dive into an underwater hide-and-seek adventure! Part of the new Seuss Studios line of Beginner Books inspired by never-before-seen sketches by Dr. Seuss, this whimsical story invites readers to seek out the magic that's hidden in the world around them.

When Momo's ball falls into the sea, a mysterious ocean creature invites him to play. The two begin a game of hide-and-seek, during which Momo finds a school of fish in the middle of class, a family of seahorses sleeping, a band of Trumpetfish playing their tune... but will he ever find his new friend?

Inspired by Avani Dwivedi's childhood in India, this playful story celebrates curiosity and is rich with lush, colorful illustrations and simple text that's perfect for beginning readers. 

Seuss Studios is a new line of Beginner Books with original stories and art from emerging authors and illustrators. Every Seuss Studios story was inspired by never-before seen sketches from the Dr. Seuss archives, which you can find in the back of each book! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat, Beginner Books make learning to read FUN!
