What was my fav book as a child?

I actually have two favorite books. The first is a fairy tale book and the second is Miss Nelson is Missing. My mom read the fairy tale book almost every night when I was little. It’s very weird that I can’t remember the name of it. I guess you could say that this is one of the books that taught me how to read. My favorite fairy tale was Rapunzel. I liked it because it was the most interesting to me. As a child I thought if I tied a sheet around my head I could be Rapunzel. I tied the sheet around my head and threw it out the window. My mom didn't like that very much and she stopped reading the stories out of the book. I really wanted to hear the story so I learned how to pronounce the words on my own. The story didn't have many big because it was designed for kids just learning how to read. It took me a while to fully understand what I was reading, but I got it eventually. One night I read the story to my Mom and she was so shocked that a 1st grader could read the way I did. My second favorite book is Miss Nelson is Missing! I really don’t know why but I still love that book to this day. I love all the sequels to it too. The book reminded me so much of my 1st grade class. We were so bad and are teacher was so nice. We were 1st graders so we really weren't use to being disciplined at school. My teacher read us the book one day during story time. The book is about a class that just doesn't listen to their teacher. They threw spit balls, talked during the lesson, and didn't do their work. One day Ms. Nelson just got fed up and left. When Ms.Nelson left the class got a new teacher, Ms. Viola Swamp. Ms.Swap was mean and meant business. She gave the class tons of work and didn't allow anyone to misbehave. One day the kids decided to go look for Ms.Nelson. They couldn't find her so they went to the police. The detective was a joke so he wasn't any help. The kids gave up and just decided they weren't ever going to see Ms.Nelson again. At the end of the book Ms.Nelson comes back to find the kids were so well behaved and respectful. She also tells them she has a secret she will never tell. This book taught me to always appreciate your teacher and what she does for you.
