The children in room 207 misbehaved everyday in class. They did not listen to their “good natured” teacher, Miss Nelson. One day Miss Nelson did not come to school, so the children had a substitute teacher named Miss Swamp. Miss Swamp was very ugly and strict. She put the children to work right away. As a result, the children began to miss their teacher. The children wondered what happened to Miss Nelson, so they hired detective Mc Smogg. Unfortunately, Mc Smogg wasn’t too much help. One child thought, “Maybe she was gobbled up by a shark.” The next day, Miss Nelson came back. The children were very excited and well-mannered. The children now appreciated their teacher. Miss Nelson told the children that she was in fact Miss Swamp and the children never told Miss Nelson why they were so well-behaved now.
This story teaches children to appreciate what they have.
The illustrations in this story were very stereotypical. Miss Nelson was beautiful, had blonde hair, and wore a pink dress. However, Miss Swamp had a big nose, multiple moles, long black nails, and a black dress. I thought it was clever that the only drawing of Detective Mc Smogg was of him smoking a pipe. Also, I noticed that at the beginning of the book the children were painted in dark colors (when they were misbehaving) but by the end they were pained in pastel colors (when they learned their lesson).
