Bank Street Ready-to-Read series.
Illustrated by
Robin Oz.
Told in a rhythmic "House That Jack Built" style, this early reader traces the origins of a schoolyard fight that began with a bump and ended up with a huge pile of kids being pulled off a hapless teacher. Neither the text nor the action-filled illustrations clarify just why the first punch was thrown, but the children later admit they should have used their heads instead of their fists.
