Miss Nelson Is Missing!

The way Miss Nelson's absence creates chaos is so playful and memorable. I'm curious what the author envisioned as the core message behind her disappearance.

The kids' antics are exaggerated but also feel like situations many kids have experienced. Did others see any personal connections with the characters' reactions?

The artwork really brought the characters' personalities to life. I wonder if the visual style was planned from the start or evolved during the creative process.
