Customer Reviews of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

A Classic in the Making
The Herdmans are a group of some of the worst kids in the entire history of the universe. The six of them steal, lie, talk dirty, curse at their teachers, hit kids who are smaller than them, blackmail people, and smoke cigars (which lead to Fred Shoemaker's broken-down toolhouse to burn to the ground). So when the six of them show up to church and Sunday school one week, and decide to take over the annual Christmas pageant, everyone is expecting the worst. None of the Herdmans have ever even heard the story of Christmas before, but when they do, they interpret all of the characters in their own way - Herod needs a beating, and the Wise Men are a bunch of dirty spies - which make most of the churchgoers very unhappy. But who knew that the Herdmans, and the entire Christmas pageant altogether, could be so full of surprises?

Children and adults of all ages will find themselves laughing out loud as they read about all of the crazy antics that the Herdmans are involved in. As a fan of holiday books, I was immensely happy with the dialogue of THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER. As opposed to being a sad, tragic holiday story, it turned out to be a fantastic, and hilarious one, that offered many laughs, and a great plot. Fans of A CHRISTMAS STORY will relish in this novels likeness, as the kids are all crazy, and entertaining. This is sure to become a holiday classic. A must-have book for the whole family this holiday season.

The Best Christmas Pagent Ever!
This book tells a wonderful story of how 6 kids on child well-fair become the new meaning of christmas. By finally understanding the REAL meaning of Christmas by living it. They may not be the most liked kids on the block, but they sure do give you a laugh. It all starts when Grace's son Charlie says they get lots of dessert at sunday school, and then all the Heardmans start coming to Sunday School. Because they are so tough, not one person but the Heardmans have the leads. The oldest Heardman, Imajean, plays Mary, and the rest take all the other parts. Everyone in the neighbourhood shows up to see what happens. If you want to find out what happens, read the book or rent the movie!
All in all this book is a wonderful book, and i have nothing but good things to say about it.

A great Story for the whole family
I first read this story when I was in gradeschool. Actually the teacher read it to us. Over 10 years later when I saw it at a used book store, I instantly picked up a copy and I don't have any kids. I re-read it myself and will read it every Christmas Season. It's about the Herdmans and the Christmas Pageant. The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world and they end up as part of the pageant.

The pageant is about the Birth of Jesus which the Herdmans know nothing about. It's a very funny story throughout and a very touching story at the end. You don't really have to be Christian to enjoy this little story. I'm not and I love the story. I definitely recommend it to almost every family as a story to be read year after year. As your kids grow, perhaps they can read it to you.
