Why read it?

1 author picked Miss Nelson Is Missing! as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a book that teaches a lesson in a way that makes you laugh even when you have read it over and over. I like that the kids in the story don’t figure out the mystery, but the pictures help the reader to solve it. Funny pictures and a funny telling of a great story.
