Customer Reviews

Miss Nelson is Back

I had this as a child and found it for my kids. They definitely enjoyed it. It’s in good condition.

Miss Nelson books are great reads to kindergarden to First grade kids.

Miss Nelson books series are great .

One of my childhood favorites!

I absolutely love all the Miss Nelson books. It’s a good book for beginning level readers. We also do a craft, draw a photo of our favorite part and why?, or act the book out. It’s absolutely hilarious at times acting it out. Allowing the children to use their imaginations. Let them tell you how the story goes and how to act your part. I do this only, because I read that it’s proven that doing an activity w/your child/children will help them remember that book better then other kid’s whom only read the book.

fun sequel to Miss Nelson is missing

I remember this from my childhood and recently bought it for a friend's pre-k aged daughter who loved it and the original, Miss Nelson is missing. A fun book that can withstand the test of 20+ years.

Childhood favorite

I loved the Viola Swamp series as a child. My daughter was very into reading so I purchased her this book as part of her Christmas presents. She liked it just as much as I did when I was young. I'm glad they haven't tried to update the artwork. I've noticed recently that some of the great books I had as a child are being published with updated artwork and I think it's terrible.

Miss Nelson is Back

Miss Nelson Is Back is written by James Marshall and Henry Allard, and was made for Miss Audrey Bruce. This short story is about a group of nine children in classroom 209 with a teacher named Miss Nelson. When Miss Nelson is out for a week the children get a lesson taught to them that they will never forget. Children will enjoy this book, because it is dealing with things that kids have to go through. Children can learn a good lesson for school about not messing with a substitute teacher, because one time you might get a teacher that wont put up with any nonsense, and could punish them very bad by possibly putting them in detention or worse.

Miss Nelson Is Back-The Timeless Classic

~I read this book for the first time as a choice for storytelling in my forensics class, and as i developed the characters, voices, and knowledge of this book, the more i loved it! This book tells of school kids whose teacher leaves for a week to get her tonsils taken out, they think (on the assumption of an older kid) that they will get a mean horrid teacher named Viola Swamp!!! They end up getting the boring principal, eventually they get rid of him (I wont tell how) and they go out for fun~~ days galore. Its a hoot!~

The Return of The Swamp

The Swamp has returned to Room 207 in this sequel to MISS NELSON IS MISISNG, and is even stranger and meaner than before. But that's only the beginning--as the kids in 207 have a chance to find out more about her...and who she is. That chance, however, is passed by. This isn't a novel--it had to be short and sweet. Too bad, though. Miss Nelson/The Swamp would have made a great main character for a novel.
