“Quincy, the Hobby Photographer” by J. Otto Seibold, (Harcourt, $14.95)
When photographing your dog, heed this rule: “You can stop to smell the roses, but dogs don’t hold their poses!” That’s just one of the comical tidbits readers will garner when they flip through this picture book and instruction manual on do-it-yourself dog photography. “Quincy,” the book’s narrator, is light-hearted and quick to share tips. He always allows his subjects to sniff the camera. And even Quincy’s “not looking” technique is sure to help readers capture Fido’s best side.
