"9 mice stick a note on the door : Gone Fishing!"
This counting book has humor and sweetness. A little mischievous as well. Contains excessive cuteness.

The animals of Farmer Brown's farmyard return in this amusing counting adventure, intent on playing a prank on their human caretaker. With Duck (naturally) leading the way, everyone from the chickens (four of them) to the cows (five in all) get in on the act. In the end, Farmer Brown is confronted with a very fishy surprise...

I like concept books that contain a story as well as the concept. This one is simple, but still mischievous and interesting.
Not as good as Click, Clack, Moo, but still entertaining enough. The parents enjoyed the twist at the end.

Click, Clack, Splish, Splash, is a cute interactive counting story that could be used with anyone who is learning to count. The story only counts from 1 - 10, but I like how it also counts backwards from 10 - 1 at the end. The illustrations look to be done in watercolor, and they cater to a more mature audience. When I think of counting books I think of big block numbers with a distinct amount of counters beside it - this book varies from that. The counters are present and so are the numbers,

This book is all about different animals on a farm. this book is intended to help with counting so there are a different amount of animals for each number. As far as the pictures, I wish there was more going on on the pages besides just the white background and the animals. I liked how there was a story to follow that helped keep things interesting. The book not only counted up 1 to 10 but it also decreased 10 back to 1. It was a bit confusing to follow and not a book I plan in the future.

Counting picture book that tells a story about farm animals on a rescue mission. Counts forward from 1 to 10, then backward from 10 down to 1. Fun ending. Illustrations add to the humor. Part of Doreen Cronin's farm animal series that also includes Click Clack Moo.

Having this book in the class library will give students more opportunities to get some practice in with some beginning counting lessons. They could read it with friends, or a partner, or even by themselves. I think everyone would benefit from having this book for various reasons. More practice and helps them stay sharp with past information.
All the animals on Farmer Brown's farm are packing up and heading somewhere. Where are they going and how are the fish getting there? each page counts up then down again. Simple and easy to follow. pictures add a lot. toddler and up
I've always loved there book and I enjoy them even more since it teaches how to count. The colors and illustrations of the book make you want to keep reading. The students could count the barn animals in each page.

I enjoyed that this book provided a storyline along with the counting examples, so it may keep some children more interested to get to the end of the book. It also rhymes, which helps make it interesting and fun.
Topics: counting, colors, rhyming, onomatopoeia, farm animals, pets.

This book is not the same caliber as her other adorable stories. Though the "Gone Fishing" sign was clever.
For children who would think of copying the crime and releasing aquarium fish in a stream or pond it could be a disaster for the ecosystem.

There are not a lot of words in this book so it is appropriate for a younger audience. The animals work together to free goldfish from an aquarium. This is a counting book.

Great book for young children to help "read" by identifying the numerals on the page and noticing the rhymes in the text. Very cute addition to the wonderful books by this duo!
Poor Farmer Brown - he just keeps putting up with duck and his antics. This is a cute, counting story for a water/fish theme.
This is a cute and fun counting book for preschoolers.
A funny book to teach counting to the children. The story and the illustrations both are excellent. Enjoyed reading this book.

This is a great book for counting and has rhyming throughout the story.
A counting book featuring the animals from "Click, Clack, Moo." It is not as good as that book but has the same fun and mischief.
Different numbers of farm animals work together to free napping Farmer Brown's ten goldfish. Fun way to learn more than just numbers.

Teachers, including parents, of early readers.
Full page, fun illustrations.

A cute concept book. Kids will need sharp eyes or a second reading to pick up on the where the goldfish come from. Either way they will enjoy this.
Using Farmer Brown and his character animals on his farm from the "Click Clack Moo" books; this one teaches counting up and then back down to 0. All to save the goldfish.
This was a little too easy for my son, but it was good practice (it would be perfect for a beginner reader) and he enjoyed reading it to me.
Farmer Brown's animals in a counting book, rhyming text, fun for the PreK crowd.
In this book all the animals on the farmers farm work together to go fishing while the farmer is sleeping. Each animal or group of animals has their own task to accomplish. For example, it’s the goats job to load the boat and the mices job to leave a note. Once they are all ready to go they put the fish from the fish tank in buckets and load them onto the boat. After they get away from the shore they dump all the fish into the pond. Finally the farmer wakes up to find that all the fish in his

Doreen Cronin was a practicing attorney in Manhattan when her first book Click, Clack Moo: Cows That Type became a publishing success. But her book was not published overnight. In fact, she had written this barnyard tale even before attending law school but only received rejection letters from publishers. Five years after submitting the original manuscript she got a call from a publisher who
