Synopsis
The kids in Room 207 take advantage of their teacher's good nature until she disappears and they are faced with a substitute.
Synopsis
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
Synopsis
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 dont 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 Marshalls scritchy, cartoonish full-color ink and wash illustrations are hilarious. A back-to-school perennial!
