Reviews
The Proimos father-and-son duo use fun dialogue; simple panel layouts; large-print word balloons; and goofy, scratchy black-and-white art to craft a story about a postapocalyptic future that won t scare young readers. - <i>Booklist</i></p> 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 and illustrator of THE ADVENTURES OF BEEKLE: THE UNIMAGINARY FRIEND on APOCALYPSE BOW WOW</p> Uninhibitedly wacky . . . A potent combination of unhinged energy and poignant sentiment. - <i>Publishers Weekly on APOCALYPSE BOW WOW</i></p> [A] postapocalyptic story that younger readers can enjoy without seeing too much potentially scary mayhem. - <i>Booklist on APOCALYPSE BOW WOW</i></p> The simple black and white illustrations are effective for the tone and pace of the story, often adding additional humor to situations. . . . This book is really funny. Spread the word. - <i>100 Scope Notes on APOCALYPSE BOW WOW</i></p> This is typical Proimos (Proimoi?) in its affable weirdness and loopy, slightly edgy cartoonish artwork. . . . [P]erfect for reluctant readers who need frequent breaks. - <i>The Bulletin of the Center for Children s Books on APOCALYPSE BOW WOW</i></p> In four wordless spreads, Proimos makes Suzy s awakening powerfully clear. - starred review, <i>Publishers Weekly on YEAR OF THE JUNGLE, illustrated by James Proimos Jr.</i></p> Proimos s flat, cartoony drawings . . . are sturdy and sweet. - starred review, <i>Booklist on YEAR OF THE JUNGLE, illustrated by James Proimos Jr</i></p>
