Totally Random Question

Does anybody have a theory of what the leftmost picture in the room in Goodnight Moon represents? It's the one that's left out of the good-nights, as opposed to the cow-jumping-over-the-moon and the bears-on-chairs. As far as I can tell, it seems to show a bunny fishing for...bunnies?

"The Runaway Bunny" is a marvelous book, btw. There was a copy of it at my grandmother's house on Cape Cod, and I think my brother and I must have read it hundreds of times. Great, reaffirming story about how parents will always love their kids, and beautiful (if slightly surreal) illustrations with the baby and mother bunny becoming a fish and a fisherman, a sailboat (with enlarged bunny ears for the sails!) and the wind, etc. Amazon link to hardback edition here - pity they don't show the illustrations!
