Miss Nelson Is Missing! Paperback - 1985

by Harry G. Allard; James Marshall (Illustrator)

The kids in Room 207 take advantage of their teacher's good nature until she disappears and they are faced with a vile substitute. "Rarely has the golden rule been so effectively interpreted for children."--"Booklist." Full-color illustrations.


Summary

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!

From the publisher

The classic, hilarious story of a misbehaving class, their sweet teacher, and the legendary substitute teacher who restores order in their chaotic classroom.

Miss Nelson's class always acts up--especially when their teacher is absent from school! But after a week with their strict substitute, Viola Swamp, the kids can't wait for Miss Nelson to come back.

Full of tongue-in-cheek humor and James Marshall's simply silly illustrations, this is the ultimate back-to-school book or teacher gift: Accept no substitute!

Plus don't miss the companion books: Miss Nelson Is Back and Miss Nelson Has a Field Day!

First line

The kids in Room 207 were misbehaving again.
