Everyone at the Horace B. Smedley School is down in the dumps - until the arrival of the notorious Viola Swamp who takes it upon herself to whip the football team into shape for the big Thanksgiving Day game. Narrated by Diana Canova with music by Scotty Huff, Robert Reynolds and Jerry Dale McFadden.
Reviews:
School Library Journal: "An original musical score and inspired animation bring James Marshall and Harry Allard's familiar characters to life."
Booklist: "...a sterling adaptation..."
AudioFile: “Diana Canova reads both of (MISS NELSON HAS A FIELD DAY and MISS NELSON IS BACK) slowly and surely, creating distinct voices for Miss Nelson, Viola Swamp, and Mr. Blandsworth. The beauty of audiobooks shines through here, with a solid combination of all the important elements: background mood music, realistic kids' voices, great sound effects, solid narration, and a dramatic (if predictable) plot with a satisfying ending. MISS NELSON HAS A FIELD DAY comes across as livelier and, as the last story in the series, enjoys the more unexpected ending. But both audiobooks will be surefire hits, as the books have been for years.”
