Description

A wild rumor grows out of control and spooks a cast of ocean creatures in this color-learning picture book from Kate Read, the award-winning author-illustrator of One Fox: A Counting Book Mystery.

All is quiet in the deep blue sea, until a tiny pink fish is mistaken for something scary. Suddenly, tales bursts forth about a "great big fish hiding in the deep!" Readers discover a color each time a new fish becomes entangled in the mayhem and hysterics.

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!

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 also explore different varieties of sea animals.

Back matter includes an introduction to simple color theory.
