Praise for Pounce

A Los Angeles Times Holiday Gift Guide Pick

"[Casteel], whose underwater images of dogs and babies have cativated an international audience, found the purr-fect subjects for his new book."―Sophia Rosebaum, New York Post

Praise for Underwater Puppies

One of Amazon's Best Books of the Year: Gift Books

"Possibly the only thing cuter than Underwater Dogs!"―Morning Edition

"Seth Casteel's fabulous 2012 photo book, Underwater Dogs,captured the exact moment that pets plunged into the pool, wide-eyed and happy. Now he's repeated the experiment -- with predictably adorable results -- in Underwater Puppies."―Tina Jordan, Entertainment Weekly

"Insanely cute.... Underwater Puppies features a collection of delightful portraits of happy, submerged pooches playfully paddling below the surface.... Energetic, charming photos."―Vi-An Nguyen, Parade.com

"Seth Casteel's underwater puppies are the perfect portrait subjects: Full of personality, snuggle-worth, and (literally) read to play ball."―Ainsley O'Connell, Fast Company

"Underwater Puppies will make your day.... Casteel's photos... capture the primal, playful, and oh-so-adorable side of puppies."―Good Morning America

CUTENESS OVERLOAD!

CUTENESS OVERLOAD!
I looked forward to it cause I bought it for myself as a new year gift. And when it arrived I think I went to heaven!The kittens presented in the book are so adorable! I love the book so much and cherish it to my heart.The book is a bit bigger than I thought which is good. The reason I gave only 4 stars is because many photos are too small. The book is not full-page photo, only some are full page which is too bad.Beside this minor disappointment, the book is PHENOMENON. Especially, the cover. It becomes my "vision symbol" of "reaching to your highest dream without fear". Therefore I place the book on my dining table so I can look at the cover everyday as the source of inspiration.If I could find the copyright photo in high-res I would make it to the wall art so I can see it everyday.PS. So happy to know that all little brave kittens in the book are rescued and adopted. This makes this book more meaningful than ever.

KIttens are adorable, fun to watch play, and they like to cuddle in your lap or by your side and purr you to sleep. In my humble opinion, they are God's most beautiful creatures. Just gazing at these photos is relaxing.

This is a fantastic read with great pictures! My 2.5 year old loves it so much that we read it multiple times before bed. One of my favorite things is the last page where they have the names of all the dogs that are in book. After repeated readings my daughter will call the dog's by name when she sees their picture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous photo book for anyone who loves cats and/or interesting photography
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2017
Verified Purchase
This book is exactly what it appears to be (a book of photos of kittens pouncing with various contexts/angles) and it is marvelous. Other than a 2 page introduction about the making of the book and fostering/caring for cats, there is virtually no text, although the names of the the kittens are featured on each page, which is fun. I have it sitting on a living room end table, along with Blackwell's 'Love and Life of Cats'. The book's dimensions are smaller than the latter, roughly 8.5"x10"x1/2".

Great photo book! Seth never fails to capture the personality of his subjects. And it can't be easy when you're only working with animals and children. I'm an owner of all of Seth's books; underwater dogs, puppies and babies. They're fun, adorable and make great coffee table books and conversation starters. His books have also served as a great but inexpensive gift for my clients.

Every one of the small kittens in this book is just too cute to stand. The caught in the moment action shots are delightful. If you love kittens ... and who doesn't ..., you should add this book to your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous ... a happy-making, beautiful, warmhearted book. I love it.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 8, 2016

This was my Christmas treat to myself, and I'm hugging it. I don't know enough about photography to be able to tell how he got some of the shots - there's a happy mixture of serendipity and technical skill - but the author has obviously arranged to get very, very lucky (by which I mean much care and patience). Most of the cats are still at the kitten stage, hence blue eyes and outsize heads and their arms and legs all over the place with no sense of their own limitations, and they're just gorgeous. I want to put them all into a big basket and bring them home.

If you're thinking about buying a picture book for someone for Christmas and you're thinking that they might not get much mileage out of it - how many times can you look at a picture? - set aside your doubts and go right head. This is page upon page of smiles and happiness.
