Hey! a Colorful Mystery - Kate Read

A mysterious rumor spreads among a colorful sea of fish in Kate Read's new picture book, a follow-up to the award-winning One Fox.All is quiet in the deep blue sea, when a rumor bursts forth about a great big fish hiding in the deep! One by one, new fish are sucked into the growing story--the red octopus was really rattled, which petrified the purple puffer fish, and startled the blue shoal, until they all flee...into a deep, dark cave. Uh-oh! That's no cave at all, but the mouth of a whale!Ezra Jack Keats Illustrator Honor Award-winner Kate Read returns with a clever oceanic twist on the old telephone game starring a tiny pink fish and schools of brilliantly hued fish in a deep blue sea. As the chatter spreads, young readers will explore different varieties of sea animals, colors, and themes of gossip and unchecked claims. Perfect for interactive readalouds as well as for early childhood education units on colors, friendship, and marine life. Back matter includes an introduction to color theory.Also by Kate Read: One Fox
