PreS-Gr 3--This familiar and amusing tale reads just as well in Spanish as it does in English. Class 207 just won't behave. Although Miss Nelson asks her students--rather sweetly--to be good, they refuse to listen. They'd rather shoot spitballs and fly paper airplanes. Then, one day, a substitute dressed all in black, with a bad hairdo and a scowl to match, is standing before them. It is clear that Ms. Pantano takes no nonsense. Soon, the students are miserable. When Miss Nelson reappears, there is no doubt that she's returned to a calmer, gentler, quieter class. Accept no substitutes; children will love La se orita Nelson.--Donna J.
