Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
The children in Miss Nelson's class go beyond misbehaving; they are downright terrible! Near her wits' end, Miss Nelson thinks up a brilliant plan. The next day the kids have a substitute--the nasty Viola Swamp--who loads the boys and girls with homework and never gives them a story hour. By the time Miss Nelson finally returns, the children are so grateful they behave well. But now Viola Swamp is missing....
"Rarely has the golden rule been so effectively interpreted for children."

Children's Literature
There is a reason Miss Nelson is Missing is a classic. Harry Allard teaches readers a lesson about misbehavior in the classroom without lecturing them. Miss Nelson's class is terribly behaved, and she does not discipline them. (There is a lesson for teachers and parents here as well.) One day Miss Nelson disappears and Miss Viola Swamp, "a witch," begins teaching in her place. The class quickly discovers that they should have appreciated and respected Miss Nelson more. Teachers and parents may want to explain why the kids think Miss Swamp is a witch and that Detective McSmogg's pipe smoking is not healthy. Teachers may wish to share this first story of three Miss Nelson books with their classes early in the school year. Reader Lanie Zeta breathes life into each character by altering her voice, and music and sound effects further enliven the story. The CD includes two tracks, one with page-turn cues and one without. The page-turn cue is a ringing school bell, which students may find confusing given the sound effects also included. Each track runs about nine and a half minutes. Reviewer: Kristina Cassidy

Meet the Author

Allard is the author of several hilarious books for children. He currently lives in Oaxaca, Mexio.

James Marshall (1942-1992) created dozens of exuberant and captivating books for children, including The Stupids, Miss Nelson Is Missing!, and the ever-popular George and Martha books. Before creating his canon of classic, hilarious children's books, James Marshall played the viola, studied French, and received a master's degree from Trinity College. He also doodled. It was the doodles, and the unforgettable characters that emerged from them, that led him to his life's work as one of the finest creators of children's books of the twentieth century. In 2007, James Marshall was posthumously awarded the Laura Ingalls Wilder medal for his lasting contribution to literature for children.

    It could always be worse!

    Miss Nelson give too much homework, roo much of everything, expects too much, and the reader hears the grumblings that all children give about their teacher. So, Miss Nelson, who is ever-so-smart, does a disiappearing act, and in her place comes The Wicked Witch, a substiitute who is demanding and grumpy. Oh, how everyone wishes Miss Nelson would return, and therein lies the conflict resolution. A great book for first through third graders. I read to second graders once a week in a school reading program, and the students love this book. It's great for opening up discussions. I think it's a five star book!!

    still a classic!

    Years ago, I bought this book for the child of a friend. Everyone in the family loved it and still remembers it, as I do. Now I bought it for another child. It's still a great, funny, enjoyable book.

    Such a classic, fun children's book

    I remember loving this book as a child, and my almost 3 year old son loves it now. It's such a clever delight and also suggests a good lesson about the consequences of misbehavior.

    Miss Nelson Is Missing

    Miss Nelson is Missing by Harry Allard is a great book. In room 29 kids were being bad and went listing to the teacher and went behaving then the next day Miss Nelson was gone. All of unsung an ugly woman came through the door and the kids were worried about Miss Nelson and the rest you have to read. My favorite part was the ending. But if you want to find out my favorite part of the storey you have to read the book to find my favorite part.

    A great book

    This book is exciting and keeps the reader thinking. It gives good clues both in the pictures and in the text. I would recommend reading this book to any class at the beginning of the year.

    Excellent Entertainer!

    This is an excellent book and it holds my four-year-old's interest like no other. He is just learning to read and can recognize lots of words just from reading along in the book with me. He asks for this book for his bedtime book every night. He changes his voice for the different characters and laughs out loud each time. Keeps his attention throughout. Highly recommended!

    The Best Children's Book Ever!!

    Hi, I had, read and loved this book as a young person. I think that it is the best children's book ever because it is very good, short and understanding. However, I think it can be used from age 4 until 8 because it is something that is short to read if it is used for an older child and if it is used or a four year old who has a very short attention span. i think that every child and every home should have a copy of this exceptional book.
