<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> The six Herdman children are the terror of their town. When they take over the annual Christmas pageant, everyone rediscovers the true meaning of Christmas. ALA Notable Children's Book 1971-1975. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><strong>This year's pageant is definitely like no other, but maybe that's exactly what makes it so special.</strong></p><p>Laughs abound in this bestselling Christmas classic by Barbara Robinson! <em>The Best Christmas Pageant Ever</em> follows the outrageous shenanigans of the Herdman siblings, or "the worst kids in the history of the world."</p><p>The siblings take over the annual Christmas pageant in a hilarious yet heartwarming tale involving the Three Wise Men, a ham, scared shepherds, and six rowdy kids. You and your family will laugh along with this funny story, perfect for independent reading or read-aloud sharing.</p><p>Ralph, Imogene, Leroy, Claude, Ollie, and Gladys Herdman are an awful bunch. They set fire to Fred Shoemaker's toolshed, blackmailed Wanda Pierce to get her charm bracelet, and smacked Alice Wendelken across the head. And that's just the start! When the Herdmans show up at church for the free snacks and suddenly take over the Christmas pageant, the other kids are shocked.</p><p>It's obvious that they're up to no good. But Christmas magic is all around and the Herdmans, who have never heard the Christmas story before, start to reimagine it in their own way.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br> <p>The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, steal, smoke cigars, swear, and hit little kids. So no one is prepared when this outlaw family invades church one Sunday and decides to take over the annual Christmas pageant.</p><p>None of the Herdmans has ever heard the Christmas story before. Their interpretation of the tale -- the Wise Men are a bunch of dirty spies and Herod needs a good beating -- has a lot of people up in arms. But it will make this year's pageant the most unusual anyone has seen and, just possibly, the best one ever.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "One of the best Christmas books ever."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> </br></br>"Outrageous, lively, funny, and wonderful. The Christmas Story shines through with a new brilliance."--<em>Denver Post</em> </br></br>"This charming story delivers a fresh perspective on the nativity and is a beautiful reminder that God loves everyone."--Brightly </br></br>"Wiry-tough, tender-hearted, unsentimental, and consistently funny."--The London Sunday Times
