Why read process doesn't show up in ps -ef

I open two terminal windows. In one, I run:

$ read foo

I don't press RETURN, so read is blocking. In the other terminal window, I search for the process:

$ ps -ef | grep foo
user        95292   94814  0 08:04 pts/11   00:00:00 grep foo

However, the running read process is not showing up? What am I doing wrong?
