5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite childhood series
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2012

Flashback: In the early nineties, I came across the children's book gem of the Miss Nelson series. For some reason or another these books were my childhood favorites. Like many things in life children's literature changed.

Flash-forward: My young adult life never provided me the opportunity to read children's books. That all changed when I decided to date my now fiancé, as she has a 5 year old son. Thanks to Amazon, I was able to find these books again. Now I can share a part of my childhood with my stepson. Needless to say, these books seem to be his new favorites, especially the football one.

The books were in brand-new condition as expected. The books offer a great message, great illustrations, and a great story. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

All 3 Miss Nelson books are fun to read. When I retired from teaching I left the books with a beginning teacher to help her build up her classroom of books. Now that I am subbing I need to build up my read aloud books. It's fun as a sub to read about "Viola Swamp" another sub. All ages love this book to be read aloud to them. As an adult I love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun book on CD
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2017
Verified Purchase
My 4 year old loves the Miss Nelson series of books (they were also a favorite of mine as a kid), and especially enjoys the CD versions. The reading on the CD is good, and comes with a version where it chimes to turn the pages and another where it reads it straight through.

My only complaint is that there is nowhere built in to store the CD when it's not in use. I ended up finding an old paper CD sleeve to stick inside the book.

I introduce the class to Miss Nelson on my first visit as a substitute teacher. This book always goes with me on my second or third visit to that same room.
