Loading... Miss Nelson Is Missing! (1977)by Harry Allard
I know it's a classic and I get a laught from rereading it every so often, but it's not my favorite book of all time. I guess I think too hard on the subject matter, but it seems that the only reason that the children are good for Miss Nelson is out of fear of a return visit from Viola Swamp. That's not really the message of respect that one might hope for. (  ) matthewbloome | May 19, 2013 |  A cute book about students who would not listen to their teacher. So Ms. Nelson decided to disappear and have a substitute who was mean replace her. The students missed their teacher so much, they went around town looking for her. What they did not know is that the substitute was Ms. Nelson in disguise. Ms. Nelson finally returns, they all are so grateful that they begin to listen and respect her like they should. DHouston | Apr 28, 2013 | This is a good book to read for a read aloud. ( ) kaf015 | Apr 24, 2013 | This is a good book for problem and solution, beginning, middle,end. The drawings in this picture are very humorous for the kids. (  ) jkk011 | Apr 23, 2013 | Miss Nelson is Missing is a fun book about a teacher who has a class that is not very well behaved. She decided to come to school dressed as a mean substitute. The kids thought they could get away with the bad behavior they thought wrong. She was mean and they hated it. When Miss Nelson came back they were so happy to have their nice teacher and the bad behavior stopped. This is a great book to teach problem/solution as well as setting.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0395401461, Paperback)The kids in Room 207 were misbehaving again. Spitballs stuck to the ceiling. Paper planes whizzing through the air. They were the worst-behaved class in the whole school. So begins this quirky classic, first published in 1977 and still relevant today as a lighthearted reminder to show our appreciation to those we value. The students don’t proffer a shred of respect for their good-natured teacher Miss Nelson, but when the witchy substitute Miss Viola Swamp appears on the scene, they start to regret their own wicked ways. James Marshall’s scritchy, cartoonish full-color ink and wash illustrations are hilarious. A back-to-school perennial! (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:38:32 -0500) The kids in Room 207 take advantage of their teacher's good nature until she disappears and they are faced with a vile substitute. |
