5.0 out of 5 stars I loved Miss Nelson Has a Field Day!!, May 7, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Miss Nelson Has a Field Day (Paperback)

I am eleven years old, and I love Miss Nelson Has a Field Day because it was funny and interesting. I liked it when Miss Viola Swamp called one boy, "Smarty". It made me laugh!! I think other kids should read this because it is a really good book. I think it is even better than the first two Miss Nelson books. All kids would love this book!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Your kids will love the Miss Nelson series!!!!!, March 4, 2002

David J. Gannon (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Miss Nelson Has a Field Day (Paperback)

Miss Swamp reappears at the Horace B. Smedley School

The Horace B. Smedley School's football team is awful-and their big game with their major rival is on tap. Can anything be done to get the guys into shape in time for the game? Miss Nelson has a plan and, out of the blue, Miss Swamp is on the scene. But where is Miss Nelson??????

This is a truly delightful series that the whole family can enjoy. Good stories, great characters and the indomitable Miss Nelson all add up to great fun and great reading for kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miss Nelson rides again, May 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Miss Nelson Has a Field Day (Paperback)

My daughter loved this book. She was not an avid reader a couple summers ago but this one was a favorite. She likes all the Miss Nelson books but she was able to write a summary on this one and have all the information correct so she was paying attention. If it is on your summer reading list for school, go for it, it's worth it.
