I wasn't going to do any specific back-to-school book reviews, since the focus of this page isn't specifically on what's current as much as what's consistently readable, but then I remembered "Miss Nelson is Missing" (1977) by that favourite author/illustrator pair, Harry Allard and James Marshall, and I couldn't resist sharing it with you! 📚📙📗 This perfectly clever, hilarious back-to-school story (and one of my own absolute favourites as a kid) is about Miss Nelson, the nicest teacher a kid could ask for, and what happens when her students aren't quite appreciative enough of how lucky they are to have her... 📗📙📚 The book was such a hit that it spawned two sequels, "Miss Nelson is Back" (1982) and "Miss Nelson Has a Field Day" (1985). ⏺ ⏺ ⏺ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #noodlenutskidsbooks #missnelsonismissing #missnelson #missnelsonisback #missnelsonhasafieldday #missnelsonseries #harryallard #jamesmarshall #violaswamp #missviolaswamp #backtoschool #backtoschoolbooks #backtoschoolbookstagram #classroom #naughtyclass #teacher #booksaboutschool #schoolstories #naughtykids #booksforkids #funnybooks #childrenbook #childrensbookseries #bookseries #childrensbookillustration #readingtokids #childrensliteracy #picturebooksofinstagram #picturebooklove https://www.instagram.com/p/B1PgerHHdEo/?igshid=1rl1h567tx0z0
