The kids in Room 207 were misbehaving again.
Spitballs stuck to the ceiling.
Paper planes whizzing through the air.
They were the worst-behaved class in the whole school.
So begins this quirky classic, first published in 1977 and still relevant today as a lighthearted reminder to show our appreciation to those we value.
The students don't proffer a shred of respect for their good-natured teacher Miss Nelson, but when the witchy substitute Miss Viola Swamp appears on the scene, they start to regret their own wicked ways.
James Marshall's scritchy, cartoonish full-color ink and wash illustrations are hilarious.
A back-to-school perennial.
