This is a parody of Margaret Wise Brown’s Goodnight Moon about a young, black, female scientist closing up her lab for the night. Goodnight Lab: A Scientific Parody by Chris Ferrie. All the children are grateful and more respectful of Miss Nelson when she finally returns. Miss Nelson disappears and is replaced by Miss Viola Swamp, who works the kids hard during lessons, assigns lots of homework, and cancels story hour. Sweet Miss Nelson has an interesting way of dealing with the rowdy and disrespectful behavior of her class. That level of memorability should count for something. Her parents remembered this story from their childhoods. Nevertheless, I remembered this story from my childhood. The muted colors, simple palette, and the subject matter that is not as universally relatable as I-a Northern-born girl-might’ve thought didn’t endear her to the story. First published 1977.īecause sometimes fate likes a laugh, my only story time participant this day was a homeschooled girl who’d never had to fear substitute teachers-who’d never had a substitute. Miss Nelson is Missing! by Harry Allard and illustrated by James Marshall. My apologies to the authors and illustrators and readers where they are necessary. I’m catching up to myself, but I am still writing these reviews two months after having read the books, so some of these have less detail than I wish that they did.
