From Booklist

PreS. The team that created the Caldecott Honor Book Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type (2000) and the recent Click, Clack, Quackity-Quack: An Alphabet Adventure (2005) offers another rambunctious farmyard farce. This one plays with numbers, offering not only a simple, interactive counting rhyme but also a trickster story with a real surprise. From "1 farmer sleeping," "two feet creeping," "six goats load the boat," and so on until "10 fish ready to go," the cumulative verse and wild, thick-lined cartoon artwork follow the progress of the animals as they ready themselves for a secret fishing expedition. Preschoolers may need help processing some of the scenarios, including the ending (particularly if they failed to notice the aquarium in the first picture). Most, however, will enjoy the counting exercise as well as the suspense of the story, and they'll want to go back to the beginning to see what they missed. What fish? Gone where? Hazel Rochman
