This has been on my Christmas list for a long time. Did not disappoint! Definitely brings the nostalgia, and the laughs, of being young and taking part in those Christmas pageants and concerts. Good stuff!!

Favorite Quote: “The Herdmans were absolutely the worst kids in the world.” I remember reading this book as a child in elementary school and thinking it was hilarious. Reading it as an adult I actually feel for the Herdman children. They…

Imagine my surprise when combing through the library stacks: I find a picture book adaptation of one of my favorite Juvenile fiction reads. The Herdman family wreak havoc in living color as they take over an entire Christmas pageant -…

THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER may just be the best message of this Christmas season. When the rowdy, untamable Herdman children volunteer for the Christmas pageant because they think they'll get cake, the pageant is deemed a failure.…

While THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER has an upbeat message, read it for the rollicking plot.

This was a delightfully funny story about the Herdman children and how other kids in their age group interact when they are around. The Herdmans are wayward children with lack of home supervision, and are constantly fighting amongst…

Oh! This book makes me smile. The value of this little volume is inversely related to its size. You can read this in bed on Christmas Eve and still be well rested for Christmas Day. The Herdmans are infamous around town and then they show…

A laugh-out-loud, yet surprisingly touching story of a Christmas pageant gone wrong--except it turns out to be "exactly right". I would read this every Christmas. Definitely deserves to be a classic, and I can't believe it took me well…

If you just can't wait until your kid is old enough to read the original with you, then this summary will do. But, it doesn't hold a candle to the original. I'm sad that Hillsborough County Libraries don't have an actual hard copy of the…

This version is the PLAY, not the original book. I wish the description was a little clearer about that. I don't mind reading plays, but it is a bit cumbersome when reading stage direction at bedtime reading to small kids....

"This picture book introduces the infamous Herdman clan, "the worst kids in the history of the world," to children not yet old enough to sit through a reading of the beloved 1972 novel, which was also adapted into a made-for-TV movie in…

Although I don't really practice Christianity anymore...I still love this book. My family had it when I was a kid and I would read it even during the summer because it is just such a fun read. Short and sassy. The Herdmans rock!…

I'd forgotten just how funny and touching this was until I read it again tonight. A great read-out-loud book for elementary school children or even young-at-heart adults too!

One of the best Christmas stories ever! The Herdmans (the worst kids in history of the world) will stay with you a long time.
