Fish

This book reminds me of Mercer Mayers "Frog!" http://www.amazon.com/Frog-Where-Are-You-Boy/dp/0803728816/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235051627&sr=1-2#
little kid leaning over a short wooden wall (looks like part of a boat or a dock.), looking at the water, playing with a toy fish. You know how a kid get bored or tired and starts playing and focussing on something intensely (around here they usually end up cutting something with siscors) Maybe more than one picture like this to show the relationship and set the mood. He dangles it in the water. If more than one picture, FISH on the last picture, if only one picture, don't have fish on it untill -
He drops it - FISH!!!
The pond is covered with lilly pads, he looks desperately at the untelling surface of the water - Fish!! Fish!!
it shows the fish doing that squigly thing sinking down in the water thing kind of like maple tree seed helicoptors, with it's tail squiggling behind it.
A real fish, opens it's mouth and swallows it whole. (cute creative hillarious fish here - Dr. Suess, Mercer Mayer, Bill Peet)
Fish
A bigger fish swallows him whole (very distictive cute fish here)
Fish
A bigger fish
Fish
a bigger fish
Fish
etc.
After the biggest fish a picture of all the fish inside each other as if they were see through.
"F I S H ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !"
When they here this, I want to show all the fish individually fealing guilty for having swallowed the other fish. Like scenes of them sitting in the dark inside another fish, with guilty looks on their faces. But I want all of the looks to be associated with the last big yell of the kid (FISH!!!!!) So not sure if seperate pages of guilty looking fish would move fast enough for the reader to know the guilty looks were all at the same time for the same yell. Maybe more than one picture on a page, like squares with seperate pictures of the fish in them, like in Sandra Boynton's "Doggies" http://www.amazon.com/Doggies-Boynton-Board-Books-Schuster/dp/0671493183/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235050954&sr=1-1#

Then the biggest fish (feels guilty) spits the next biggest fish out, pop.
Fish
then the next
fish
the next
fish
etc.
The last fish spits the toy fish out and it boings up above the surface of the water
FIsh!
The little kid, oblivious to the strangeness of it, grabs his toy gleefully
he then, having learned his leasson, brings it on his side of the "fence"
You then realize he is in a old fashioned bath tub like half a barrel, floating in the pond (or whatever) - like the old metal washtub mom had, that we would "swim" in - taking a bath with bubbles and playing with his newly retrieved "Fish!!!"
