Description:

Scholastic once again proves its love for fine storytelling, this time by presenting a delightful, animated adaptation of two Harry Allard classics: Miss Nelson Has a Field Day and Miss Nelson Is Back. When laziness and misbehavior strike the Horace B. Smedley School, a beloved, apple-cheeked teacher transforms herself into the formidable Viola Swamp. Her witchlike face and no-nonsense teaching style are just the ticket to spur Smedley's losing football team to victory, tether a classroom of unruly pranksters, and generally restore order, respect, and cheerful cafeteria helpers to the school campus. Diana Canova perfectly voices James Marshall's comical array of buck-toothed kiddos and teachers. School-age viewers and their parents will easily chuckle over familiar characters like Principal Blandsworth and his diverse throng of students. Each story unfolds against an amusing score that blends marching band fare, ragtime, rubber ducks, and whistled ditties. The DVD version includes three comparatively mild bonus stories, plus a charming interview with the late James Marshall. (Ages 4 and older) --Liane Thomas
