Click, Clack, Splish, Splash by Doreen Cronin

Illustrated by Betsy Lewin. Atheneum Books for Young Readers, New York, 2006.

A companion book to the Caldecott Honor-winning Click, Clack, Moo, Cronin and Lewin team up to enumerate the antics of farm animals on a secret mission to release the farmer's goldfish into the pond.

The hilarious tiptoeing animals plot behind the sleeping farmer's back to better living conditions for yet another group of underprivileged creatures. Piling buckets beneath the window, they climb into the farmhouse to rescue their fishy friends.
