Miss Nelson is Missing, by Harry Allard.
This is a cute book with nice illustrations. I would say that is for grades 2-3.
This book is about a class who becomes uncontrollable and rude. Children could definitely relate to this story. The class is misbehaving and spitting spitballs among other things. The nice teacher leaves and another teacher fills in. She piles on the homework, does not have a storytime, or let the class have recess or any fun. The class goes to the police station to report Miss Nelson missing. They think of all kinds of silly things that probably did not happen to her. Eventually Miss Nelson comes back and they really appreciate her.
I think this book could be read at the beginning of the school year and a discussion could follow about what kind of classroom rules you would want to establish for the schoolyear.
