All is quiet in the deep blue sea until a tiny pink fish is mistaken for something scary. EEK! There's a great big fish hiding in the deep! A rumor grows, and readers discover a color with every new fish entangled in the mayhem. The red octopus was really rattled, which petrified the purple fish and startled the blue shoal.
