Description
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.

This adorable picture book was a very fun dive into the colorful fish in the sea and a mysterious rumor that starts about a monster hiding in the deep! I loved the art style and the guide about colors at the end was a lovely touch that will definitely inspire some little artists. I would recommend this to any parent!

I love all the vibrant colors in this book, not surprisingly since colorful is in the title. Kids will love reading this one and seeing all of the different fish as well. Beautiful!

This book shows the importance of our words and how quickly a rumor can grow into a big colorful mayhem with consequences. AND how perspective can change EVERYTHING! Such a beautiful book.

A fun and colorful story of rumors and fear spreading in a funny way in the ocean until they all realize how silly they all have been. I think kids will have a lot of fun with this one.

Hey! A Colorful Mystery is a cute, appealing, fun way to explore colors with young readers. The illustrations remind me of those of Leo Lionni, with beautifully water color-ish texture, vibrant colors, and expressive faces on all the sea creatures. I can easily imagine reading this over and over with my nieces & nephews!
Thank you to NetGalley and Peachtree Publishing for the advance review copy!

What a fun read this is. A pink fish yells hey! and that noise startles a red octopus, a purple puffer fish, a blue shoal, and so on. The fish swim and hide in a cave or is it? Great ending. Back pages show primary and secondary colors and a color wheel all as fish.

Thanks to Peachtree Publishing + Netgalley for the e-advance publicity review copy of HEY! A COLORFUL MYSTERY by Kate Read, expected pub date October 1, 2021.
Ahhh, y'all - this book is adorable. It is full of ocean animals, colors, and words that will completely engage littles in a fun story of how a rumor starts perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and even early elementary kiddos (my 7 year old loved reading it to my 5 year old). I highly recommend it for reading and rereading at home, school, and the library.
