Summary: Miss Nelson is Missing
Comment: Miss Nelson is Missing is a great book for ages 5-8 years old.
The book is about a school teacher who has kids that screw around in class all the time. The kids go to school one day and realize Miss Nelson is not the teacher but some mysterious old grumpy lady. She had loaded them with homework, and the kids where very upset. You are is a real surprise on who the teacher really is.
There is a great lesson to be learned, and it is to not be noughty in class. you should also appreciate what your teacher does for you. All and all this is an exalent book for young readers.

Summary: Another Childhood Favorite! And It's Still Great Today!
Comment: As I mentioned in my review of "Stinky Cheeseman and Other Fairly Stupid Tales," I am taking a Children's Lit class in college, which requires me to read a lot of children's books. So, this is a great excuse for me to write more reviews. If you want to make fun of me for liking these books, so be it. I could care less.

"Miss Nelson is Missing" was always a childhood favorite for me. One of my first picture books I ever read, I think. I even remember that my copy came with a record that you could listen along to as you read. Wow, does that bring back memories. I picked this up a few days ago, and found myself enjoying it as much as I did when I was little, if not more.

This is a book about a sweet and nice teacher who has one of the most terrible classes ever. Everyone is mean and nobody ever listens to her. Miss Nelson knows that something has to be done.

One day, when she doesn't arrive to class, the children are so happy. They think they have driven her away forever. They are all smiles and grins.....until....

They meet Miss. Viola Swamp, an ugly and mean teacher dressed in black and white makeup. She puts them to work, yells at them, and makes them do tons and TONS of homework. Desperate and worried, the children turn to a detective in order to solve the whereabouts of Miss Nelson.

This book is incredible. Fun for all ages, especially the young ones. It's fun and gives a good moral lesson at the same time. It has great writing and very cool pictures. The reading level is pretty easy. Nothing too mind-bending behind it.

I recommend "Miss Nelson is Missing!" to ANYONE! Yes, I don't care how old you are. You're never too old to enjoy a good children's book, and I'm starting to re-discover that. Check this one out whenever you can. And if you have kids, I can almost promise you that this will be a favorite.

Summary: Read this book to your class on the first day of school!
Comment: Want to get the school year off on the right foot? Read this book to your class on day one. Stop to ask questions about how the children are acting and what is wrong with the classroom. At the end of the story ask what Miss Nelson could have done to prevent all of these problems? This will naturally lead into a discussion of the importance of having RULES. Then have the class brainstorm a list of rules that every classroom should have. Post these rules in your room. Studies have shown that children are more likely to respect rules that they help make. They also will have a better understanding as to why teachers need rules. Don't let what happened to Miss Nelson happen to you!
