Recommendations for books on child photography?

Hi all,

It's been a while since I was around these parts, but I thought I'd stop in and see if anyone could recommend a good book on photographing children. My brother-in-law is expecting his first child soon and his birthday is coming up so we wanted to look for something like this. He's already a reasonable photographer (i.e. he doesn't need aperture explained), and the problem is that most of the books I've found start from absolutely zero. Does anyone know of something like this?

Best candidates I've found on Amazon:

Photographing Children Photo Workshop

Natural Newborn Baby Photography (a bit cute for my taste but at least talks about the specifics of babies and not the technicalities of exposure)

Thanks for any advice!
Cheers,
Colin

    I can't really say about books but Tamara Lackey will be on Creative LIVE the 10th through the 12th doing a live Children's Posing Guide course. Not sure that's what you're looking for though.

    The Sandy Puc' Guide to Children's Portrait Photography is on Amazon. Should be a good one. I've been to a seminar w/ her and followed her some.
