Read this to my kids. All 3 (ages 10, 6, 3) enjoyed it for the most part. Wish it wasn't a cliffhanger, but it had some funny parts.

A premise similar to Garbage Nights, but for a younger audience. Some cute dialogue, and lovable dogs. Simple plot.

'Apocalypse Bow Wow' is a series of comics about a couple of dogs, Brownie and Apollo, after the apocalypse has hit. It's a very fast read with lots of white space on every page, and while the subject is a bit morbid, it's not inappropriate for younger readers.

The end has come. Humans have simply vanished. We don't know how or why. Two housebound dogs don't seem too concerned, at least at first. Eventually it dawns on them that they might need to go look for food. How they get out of the house is pretty funny. As is how they form alliances in this new world order. There are standoffs in grocery aisles and fights with intruders, but all told in a kid friendly way.

It's a very fast 224 pages, with many pages only having only one panel on them. Each page has a lot of white space around the images, but it's currently under 7 bucks for the kindle version, so you'll have to decide if it's worth the money. It's a grim set up, but it's handled in a very kid friendly way. With the current craze on survivalist/zombie/post-apoc for the grownups, it was only a matter of time before something showed up for the kids. As long as yours aren't going to feel bad that the humans are gone, or the dogs have to fend for themselves, they might get a kick out of this.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Bloomsbury USA Children's Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Loved it, sweet and adorable.

Very quick and funny read. Would work wonderfully as a readers theater.

Very goofy. Surprisingly dark.

This is a short children’s graphic novel about 2 dogs who have lost their owners in the apocalypse. The small, smarter, dog is freaking out, knowing their owners are never coming home while the larger, dumber, dog is convinced they will come back because he’s really hungry and they always come back when he’s really hungry. Finally the dogs decide to set out in search of their owners and food, stepping outside to realize the world is not quite what it’s supposed to be. Tag along on their journey and see what other types of animals they come across trying to stay alive in the apocalypse.

First off, I’m going to start by saying this is a children’s book. Do not go into this book thinking you’re going to get some in-depth apocalypse story. There are very few words and the majority of this story is told through illustrations.

Now, moving on from that. This is an absolutely adorable story. I loved it. I flew threw it given the warning in the previous paragraph. It was quick, an easy read, and super fun.

Even though there are not many words, the pictures work with the few there are in the panels to bring this story to life. There is no lack of storyline and everything is put together very well. I don’t have any complaints about the way this book was laid out nor with how it came together.

The humor was also spot on. Who doesn’t love some good dog humor (except maybe people who don’t have souls). I found myself laughing out loud at these dogs’ antics on more than one occasion. They’re super lovable and wonderfully delightful.

The characters are animals but I just adore them so much. This is such a fun read, and, even with it being a super quick one, I loved this story and would definitely recommend it to children and parents alike. It would be super fun to read together for parent and child. But, this is a great story that can be enjoyed by all dog-lovers like myself. I highly recommend you read this if the opportunity presents itself.

I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to present itself so I can read the sequel Apocalypse Meow Meow. I will be picking it up as soon as I get the chance!

Graphic novel that is basic in amount of text on the page - usually 1-3 frames per page with 1-2 sentences per frame. However, the content relies on the reader having a certain understanding of what they apocalypse means, or at least be able to understand the possibilities of one based on context clues.

Seriously cute. But I want to know what happened to the people!!

I received a free digital ARC from NetGalley to review.

One day, all of the people disappear and two (not-so-smart) dogs are left to their own devices. Together, they face the issues of finding food, comforting one another, dealing with allies and foes, and navigating their new world. This is a cute black-and-white children's graphic novel with an interesting premise. It has some funny bits and some serious parts.

I was expecting a stand-alone and was somewhat disappointed by the "To be continued..." I didn't get the point of the story being written in "scenes" either, but it's a quick, enjoyable read if a forgettable one. I'd be willing to check out the second volume if I happened upon it.

It would be good for children who like to read about animals, avid comic fans or children who struggle with reading, and children who like apocalyptic tales but are too young for The Walking Dead. In fact, I kept thinking of season 3 of TWD.
