Summary: not as good as
Review: A lot of the photos look alike. the quotes are pretty good, but the pictures should be more diverse. I suggest Jim Dratfield's books, which have the creative photos as well as the creative words!

Summary: perfect "coffee table" (tiny) tome
Review: Delightful photographs and witty, clever verse--altho' some might dispute the "verse" moniker for the text. This is a book that won't tire the readers arms (it's small in comparison to some). This book is a must for the dog person. And I bet that anyone who reads it will find someone there in a photo that they recognize, be it the pup or the pup's person!
I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was very well received by those who were lucky to be the recipient (after I read it 2 or 3 times!)

Summary: Sweet little puppies!
Review: I Am Puppy Hear Me Yap is an excellent book. The pictures incite many "awwww"s and the quotes usually go along with the pictures very well. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I thought their first book, If You Only Knew How Much I Smell You was even better. I would highly recommend both books.

Summary: Great Xmas gift!
Review: I bought this book for my father for Christmas, but he's getting it "used" because I just had to read it as soon as it arrived. I love the pictures, and the poems are terrific. I can just hear Boy Blunt's voice. I can't wait till Christmas morning to hear my dad read it aloud. (No, no one paid me to say these things!)

Summary: Excellent photographs; weak text
Review: I really enjoyed the photographs in "I am puppy, hear me yap: The ages of dog." Photographer Valerie Shaff has a real talent, and this book is full of wonderful shots of dogs. The only weak link in this book is the text by Roy Blount, Jr. Blount is trying to be funny. Sometimes he succeeds, but often I found his prose simply annoying or distracting from Shaff's outstanding work. But if you enjoy a limerick about dog vomit or a nasty insult directed at actor Steve Guttenberg, maybe you'll like Blount's contributions. But if Blount is not your cup of tea, just ignore him and focus on Shaff's photographs. Her photographs really seem to capture the thoughts and emotions that run through a dog's mind. There are a wide variety of different types of photos: some tender, some funny, some bursting with energy. There are both action shots and shots of dogs at rest. Many different breeds are represented. I recognized such breeds as dalmatian, bassett hound, beagle, poodle, and others. Shaff captures dogs, both singly and interacting with each other, in various settings: in the grass, in the snow, on the pavement, at home, etc. If you've ever loved a dog (and I have!), this book will certainly touch both your heart and your funnybone.

Summary: A BOOK TO MELT YOUR HEART!
Review: One look at these adorable puppies and your heart will instantly melt. I have an English Cocker Spaniel, Ben, who can be an angel while I am at work during the day and the Tazmanian Devil by night. Could I scold him - it is extremely difficult. How could one ever intently look into the huge, sad, dark brown eyes of a spaniel and feel anything but love! Being a counsellor with a background in psychology, I believe in disciplining with a philosophical approach. I talk and Ben listens, intently - all the time wondering, "just how many minutes are left in this counselling session before I can chase the cats!" "So, I chewed up your favourite aromatherapy candle - it smelled like strawberries, and so I had an accident on the floor, how would you feel if you had to go outside to due your duty on the front lawn?" These puppies seem to be feeling all those same thoughts, and the verses will certainly bring a smile. "I Am Puppy Hear Me Yap" makes a perfect gift for yourself or any canine lover. The photographs will warm your heart for years to come.
