Miss Nelson Is Missing!

Harry Allard & James Marshall

Room 207 is the worst-behaved class in school, until sweet Miss Nelson vanishes and a scary substitute named Viola Swamp shows up.

Why We Love It

Be still, my second grade heart. This book has major core memory potential. It’s so much fun!

Have you seen this teacher? Draw her, fill in what she was last seen wearing, name the reward, and hang it on the fridge.

All about Miss Nelson in one circle, all about Viola Swamp in the other, and whatever they have in common in the middle. Learn how a Venn diagram works and find the secret hidden in the story.
