The beloved story of a misbehaving class and their iconic substitute teacher. A Miss Nelson is Missing movie is in the works at Netflix, with Melissa McCarthy to star! Miss Nelson is sweet, but her class is always misbehaving. And when their quiet, mild-mannered teacher goes missing? They think it’s their chance to really act up. Until they meet their strict substitute, Viola Swamp. She works them hard, she expects their best, she never settles for less-than-perfect manners. When, oh, when will Miss Nelson’s come back? This hilarious story that’s kept kids laughing—and kept them in line—for generations is the ultimate teacher gift or back-to-school read to share with your children. Accept no substitute!

One of my favorite books when I was in grade school. Decided to order it for my little ones and they like it lol. We enjoy the twist at the end and also enjoy the lesson in the book

It’s a great story for kids in any sort of early school year teaching respect for their teacher
After seeing the video of this story, my great grand daughter came over with my son and his wife and after the hellos and “…May I have. Candy kiss.”, she came almost nose to nose nd asked me to buy her the book. I buy both her brother and her books LL THE TIME, SO I said yes nd we got on Amazon and ordered it. I told her it would be here in 2 days and in 2 days she asked to come to my house. Her grandmother read it to her 5 times straight. She had to have it read over and over until now our dear 4 year old has it memorized and “reads” it to us. SO…YES this is. Great story. It has a good lesson about being good in school or your teacher just might go “missing”. So, buy it, your child will love it.

Perfect for substitute teaching!
I bought this book because I am a substitute and it’s a cute little story about a teacher who leaves her class with a different teacher. If you’ve never read it before it does have a cute little twist at the end and it’s fun to see if your students catch on. It’s great for elementary school students and it’s such a classic. I remember reading this book when I was a kid!

Great book!
I remember this book when I was a kid! I read this as a mystery reader for my son's class (he was in first grade at the time) the class loved it and the teacher made a comment how she remembers that book too. I read it to my 4 and 5 year old class and they have been begging me to come as MISS VIOLA SWAMP one day to school.

Lovely book
I brought this book in used condition, apart from a small bend in the corner of the cover, this book was very good condition. Very pleased with purchase, I have used it within my intervention group at school. Would recommend

Lustige Geschichte
Ich habe das Buch bestellt, um es meinem afrikanischen Patenkind zu schicken. Dort ist die Unterrichtssprache Englisch. Ich denke, es wird ihm gefallen. Das Buch hat auf jeder Doppelseite ein großes, lustig gemaltes Bild und dazu einige Zeilen Text. Ideal, um der Story zu folgen, auch wenn man nicht jedes Wort versteht. Die Geschichte ist lustig und meiner Meinung nach für Kinder zwischen 8 und 12 Jahren geeignet. Bei Kindern, deren Mutterspache Englisch ist, würde ich es bei 5 - 10 jährigen einsetzen.

Don’t Love the language
My 3-yr old’s teacher read it for them in school and my daughter insisted she wanted one at home. While the story has a good lesson in it (you never know what u have till it’s gone) I don’t really love the language in it. When the “bad teacher” takes over the class she makes the kids lives harder and says things like “keep your mouths shut” which I didn’t think was great when my little one repeated it. Much better stories out there.

Perfect read for young school goers
My daughter and I love this book. Very relevant for today's children who often complain about their teachers, not realising that teachers these days are actually very approachable and friendly. A must read for every young school goer !!
