Boo

A mysterious rumour spreads among a colourful sea of fish in Kate Read's new picture book, a follow-up to the award-winning One Fox: A Counting Book Thriller. All is quiet in the deep blue sea, when a rumour bursts forth about a "great big fish hiding in the deep!" One by one, new fish are sucked into the growing story, setting off a chain reaction of chaos beneath the waves. 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, colours, and themes of gossip and unchecked claims. Perfect for interactive readalouds as well as for early childhood education units on colours, friendship, and marine life. Back matter contains an introduction to colour theory, including the colour wheel, shading, and mixing colours.
