How do puppies see the world? Each other? Us? What do young dogs really think? What are the rites of passage from puppyhood to doghood? I Am Puppy, Hear Me Yap is a fascinating collection of more than fifty delightful and witty photographs by Valerie Shaff, whose portraits are unique in their uncanny ability to capture the essence of each young dog and puppy. Roy Blount Jr.'s incomparable text brings these pups hilariously to life, and he comes as close to capturing the inner thoughts of canines as any human can. Together, Shaff and Blout take us to the brink of understanding the different ages of dogs.

Each small sigh serves to reiterate
Nobody fits quite like a littermate.
With pieces like that, it's clear that Blount enjoyed creating his rhymes as much as we enjoy reading them. The pintsized beast from the cover makes another appearance inside the pages, this time next to a poem that begins with the title of the book:
I am puppy, hear me yap
No, I won't sit in your lap
I've got other things to do
For instance, bark at you.
Whether you prefer pooches sweet and cuddly or fiercely attacking your ankle, this lovely little book is sure to show you the doggie of your dreams. --Jill Lightner
