I discovered that we have Miss Nelson is Missing, in spanish but not in English. So while picking up that gem from my childhood, smile, I cam across the two other books in the series. One of the great things about being a TVI, I guess, and helping Bookshare is I get to reread books from my childhood, that I loved. I remember when this one was brand new. Anyway, under the .rtf section of the website. may need a spell check but that is about it. Miss Nelson Has a Field Day By Harry Allard The football team hasn't won a game all year. They haven't even scored a single point. They practice only when they feel like it, and neither Principal Blandsworth's admonition nor Coach Armstrong's heart-rending sobs spur them on. Something has to be done. On a certain day when no one wants to practice, the coach's whistle blows, and the team cannot believe what they see: It's that substitute teacher from times past, the terrible tyrant from Miss Nelson's Room 207. The team knows they're in for it when she shouts for all to hear, "I am Coach Swamp." The surprise twist to Miss Swamp's outrageous and rollicking story will delight and mystify the multitude of fans that Harry Allard and James Marshall have won with Miss Nelson Is Missing! and Miss Nelson Is Back. Harry Allard and James Marshall have teamed up before to create the wonderful adventures of the Stupid family in The Stupids Step Out, The Stupids Have a Ball, and The Stupids Die. And, of course, they are the creators of the famous Miss Nelson Is Missing!, which has won the Arizona Young Readers Award, the Georgia Children's Picture Storybook Award, and the California Young Reader Medal. Miss Nelson Is Back, the rollicking sequel, is a featured selection on the PBS television series "Reading Rainbow." Miss Nelson Is Missing! "A zany lesson in teacher appreciation." -Horn Book "The team that gave us the incomparably giddy The Stupids Step Out is together again ... If all teachers looked as goofy as Mr. Marshall makes these two, the earth would never again have a truancy problem."- New York Times Miss Nelson Is Back "Yes, she is and her further adventures are sure to be a hit."- School Library Journal, starred review "A marvelous complication of masquerades, with the kids impersonating Miss Nelson, Miss Nelson appearing as Miss Swamp, and Miss Nelson-as-Miss Swamp masquerading as Miss Nelson. A nifty performance, always a step or two ahead of the audience."- Kirkus "Marshall's color cartoons and the twisty tale rise to stratospheric heights of buffoonery."- Publishers Weekly "This is an artful spoof that's not to be missed."- Booklist, starred review Shelley L.
