Apocalypse Bow Wow - Softcover

"It's The Walking Dead with dogs. It's funny, action packed, and now my dogs know how to survive the apocalypse. I look forward to reading Brownie and Apollo's further adventures!" --Dan Santat, Caldecott Award-winning author of THE ADVENTURES OF BEEKLE: AN UNIMAGINARY FRIEND

"Uninhibitedly wacky . . . A potent combination of unhinged energy and poignant sentiment." --Publishers Weekly

"[A] postapocalyptic story that younger readers can enjoy without seeing too much potentially scary mayhem." --Booklist

"The simple black and white illustrations are effective for the tone and pace of the story, often adding additional humor to situations. One of the best recommendations you can give a young reader is 'it's really funny.' This book is really funny. Spread the word." --100 Scope Notes blog

"This is typical Proimos (Proimoi?) in its affable weirdness and loopy, slightly edgy cartoonish artwork . . . the black and white illustrations have a countercultural feel that adds extra appeal. The dogs' dialogue is snappy, with fine comic contrast . . . . The action transpires in brief demarcated scenes, making this loopy story perfect for reluctant readers who need frequent breaks." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

It's the end of the world . . . but not for dogs! Humans have disappeared into thin air. Fires are raging everywhere. Animals are acting crazy. And dog buddies Brownie and Apollo can't find their owners. With bellies rumbling, the two decide to make their way into the strange outside world.

Will Brownie and Apollo assemble the remaining canines of the world and create a new, better society for all? Probably not. Will they make some friends out there and learn to live on their own? Maybe. Will they find dinner?? A dog can only hope . . .

In the vein of Tom Angleberger and Lincoln Peirce comes a funny, furry, and utterly unique animal tale that's perfect for reluctant readers.
