Suggests activities to be used at home to accompany the reading of Miss Nelson is missing by Harry Allard in the classroom.

The three classic school stories. Accept no substitute. More than forty years ago Viola Swamp slinked into Room 207 at Horace B. Smedley School and whipped Miss Nelson's terrible, rude, worst-class-in-the-whole-school students into shape. In the intervening generations since the publication of Miss Nelson Is Missing , millions of children have been fascinated by the legend of Miss Swamp. A diabolical creation from the minds of Harry G. Allard and James Marshall, Miss Nelson's alter ego illuminates the folly of misbehavior through amazing feats of disguise. And she's never been more hilarious than now For the first time ever, Miss Nelson Is Missing , Miss Nelson Is Back, and Miss Nelson Has a Field Day are available in one volume. This comical, collectable treasury of stories is a must-have for teachers and their mischievous students everywhere.

Miss Nelson must leave her class for a little while, and out of boredom the children begin to act up. Miss Nelson finds out about this and calls on her evil friend, the witch, Miss Viola Swamp. Just as in the previous book in this series (Miss Nelson is Missing), Miss Swamp puts More...the children's mischief to bed, and gets the kids working hard again

Librarian from the black lagoon: A class plans their first visit to the library.

Late one Friday the 13th in November, Miss Nelson gets an alarming anonymous telephone call. She then takes an ill-starred short cut through the dilapidated and soon-to-be-razed Old East Wing. There she stumbles upon something that almost unhinges her mind and that causes her to swoon. But luckily for her, exactly one week later, and at the very same hour and in the very same spot, an old friend of hers surfaces who, putting her shoulder to the wheel, quickly unmasks the malevolent telephone caller who is bound and determined to oust Miss Nelson from Room 207, nudging her into early retirement, and -with luck- sending her packing to a hospital, clinic, or cozy nursing home specializing in nerve cases. The plot foiled, both Miss Nelson and her tenebrous alter ego, Miss Swamp, turn up trumps again and carry the day.

More than anything in the world, Andrew wants freckles. His classmate Nicky has freckles -- they cover his face, his ears, and the whole back of his neck. (Once sitting behind him in class, Andrew counted eighty-six of them, and that was just a start! One day after school, Andrew screws up enough courage to ask Nicky where he got his freckles. And, as luck would have it, who should overhear him but giggling, teasing Sharon (who makes frog faces at everybody!) Sharon offers Andrew her secret freckle juice recipe -- for fifty cents. That's a lot of money to Andrew -- five whole weeks allowance! He spends a sleepless night, torn between his desire for freckles and his reluctance to part with such a substantial sum of money. Finally, the freckles win, and Andrew decides to accept Sharon's offer. After school, Andrew rushes home (with the recipe tucked into his shoe for safekeeping). He carefully begins to mix the strange combination of ingredients -- and immediately runs into some unforeseen problems. How Andrew finally manages to achieve a temporary set of freckles -- and then isn't sure he really wants them -- makes a warm and hilarious story.

The Stupid family celebrates the children's awful report cards by inviting their relatives to a costume party. "Everybody's pet crazies make a return appearance in Allard's story and Marshall's color cartoons, the sequel to their hit The Stupids Step Out." -- Publishers Weekly
