Miss Nelson is Missing, by Harry Allard & illustrated by James Marshall


I remember hearing this book from a teacher in my own elementary days. It is about a horribly misbehaved class of children whose teacher goes "missing" and is replaced by the "witch" Miss Viola Swamp. The kids learn not to take advantage of their kind-hearted teacher. In the end the reader/listener finds out that Miss Viola Swamp and Miss Nelson are actually the same person. This is a good mystery introduction for kids. Asking questions throughout the text comes very naturally with this book.
