(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Lester. When a frenzied mob of students stampede into their classroom, a chain reaction of mishaps begins: a spilled ant farm lures a show-and-tell pet snake from its box, making a girl shriek, causing a boy to spill birthday cupcakes, which the janitor then slips on..., etc. The book is long, but Greene wisely breaks up the cumulative repetition. Lester's bustling, sketchy, bold-outlined illustrations add deadpan humor.
