A collection of some of my favorite books when I was in elementary school. It was great re-reading them again. Viola Swamp is still a scary character.

[Linda Visser · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read these books every year to my Kindergarten kids to "whip them into shape". Haha. I ask them if they want the nice Mrs. Visser or Miss Viola Swamp for a teacher!

This was my absolute favorite book when I was young, I remember in my 5th grade class my teacher dressed as Miss Swamp for Halloween. Scared the whole class. Lol. It's so nice that I get to read this with my children and they get to meet, Miss Nelson and Miss Viola Swamp! I read to my 3 yr old and he enjoyed so much he wanted me to read again. My little monster has great taste!

Miss Nelson is Missing: Love, love, love this book. It is one of those you read as a kid (just once!) and it stays with you forever. I have, as an adult read this book more than once, but the one time as a kid really stayed with me. That's a sign of a good book!

Miss Nelson is Back: Cute, but never as cute as the first one! Ms. Swamp makes an appearance, but the fear isn't there, you know?

Field Day: Four stars.

I remember loving these books as a kid, so it was a delight to see this show up in a box of books for my daughter's 3rd birthday. She's quickly become obsessed with Miss Nelson and her alter ego Miss Viola Swamp, to the point that when she arrives home from daycare, she'll grab the book and insist I read it before she even says hello. It'll only get more fun once she cottons on to the twist....

Never got to read this as a kid but I always wanted to! I finally caved and bought it and all I can say is my inner child is definitely feeling the love! This is such a fun book that I believe all kids and adults could enjoy and have a little laugh at!

How awesome to revisit these after 30 years or so.

The quirkiest of schoolroom romps. It will captivate children and adults alike.

I loved the Miss Nelson books as a kid and recently picked up this copy for my nieces. Hopefully, they will love the stories as much as I did.

This collection brought back nostalgic memories of my childhood. I love reading my favorite children's books just for the fun of it!

[Jessa Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

This will & forever be one of my favorite childhood series of all time🖤🤍

[Rubi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wrote my reviews separately on each books listing. But this gets 5 stars because I love how it puts all 3 adventures into 1 book with the same classic cover style as the originals 👍👍

[Cheryl · Rating 3 out of 5]

I get the appeal, but the police detective being a red herring bothered me a bit, and in general I'm just not interested in naughty children.

[Rebecca Harris · Rating 5 out of 5]

My son enjoyed reading this book from my childhood. He loved the surprise endings!

[Courtney · Rating 5 out of 5]

Rereading a childhood favorite - still is awesome!

[Elizabeth · Rating 5 out of 5]

5/5 stars. Physical book. There is so much nostalgia in Miss Nelson’s books. I loved these as a kid. I am happy to share them with my daughter.

K-5 Mystery

This book is a collection of stories about a teacher who has to bring in a "substitute" to straighten out her class. Each story is funny with surprising endings. Younger grades will definitely love the mystery and ask questions like, Who is Viola Swamp? and Where is Miss Nelson?

During reading, students could predict what they think will happen next. This could be done with each individual story or even with the entire collection. Students could fill out a sequence sheet on where and when Miss Nelson shows up and disappears. I think this book is great for character lessons as well. In, Miss Nelson Has a Field Day, the students are down in the dumps, but Miss Nelson (Viola Swamp) helps them persevere. If students are having a bad day, this would be a good quick read aloud. In, Miss Nelson is Missing and Miss Nelson is Back, the children misbehave and need reminding of the rules and their former privileges. Sometimes reading a book like this can be a gentle reminder for our students.

This is my favorite collection I have read. I love this book because as a substitute teacher I genuinely connect with all the stories. I had not read all these stories before, so it was so cool to read them and now it has inspired me to read them to my classes I sub in. Also, how funny that my last name is Nelson. It's a perfect match!

Ooooow cool

[Katie F · Rating 5 out of 5]

Three of my all-time favorite books. Have read to my son since he was an infant, but he enjoys it a lot more now that he's 2.5.

[Franklyn Kornn]

This collection is three books in one. These are good to use in a lesson on prediction or summarizing the main events. These would be great to use for book shares too.

[Lindsay · Rating 4 out of 5]

I remember liking these books as a child, and my four-year-old thinks they're great fun.

[Anna Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

The importance of teamwork and hard work.

I loved it!!

[Lev Abrasha · Rating 5 out of 5]

i liked when blandsworth was the swanp

[Rosemary · Rating 5 out of 5]

5/12/17 age 6 - I liked when Miss Viola Swamp came in and started using words that the children didn't really like, because Miss Swamp, she was trying to get results out of the children. I thought the book was pretty awesome. And I really like the time when the children went to the police station to see if the police had seen her. That was a funny part.

[Amanda · Rating 3 out of 5]

My 4 year old and I enjoyed these. We had the first one as a standalone book and he liked it so much, we requested the collection from the library. The first one is the best, but the others are quite cute too.
