The Best Christmas Pageant Ever Review
Barbara Robinson has crafted a fantastic tale of the meaning of Christmas. In this 80 page book we come to fear and love the Herdmann clan, a gaggle of 6 kids that see the world their own way, and take it on in their own terms. They are just as likely to klonk a kid in the head as ignore them. They are the "closest thing to criminals that we knew." What does this have to do with Christmas? Well...
Every year a local Church stages a traditional Christmas pageant, but this year the Herdmann's show up in Church on the day that the pageant is announced, and they then show up and end up filling all of the major parts in the play. Everyone keeps their eyes open and their ears to the ground to see what the Herdmann's will do next, and the poor woman that gets saddled with the pageant and the Herdmann's proclaims that "This Will be the Best Christmas Pageant Ever!"
This book is perfect for reading to the kids. I just finished reading it to my 10-yr old daughter (who could have sliced through it in short order herself), and we both enjoyed the experience greatly!
Come along for the adventure as the Herdmanns hear the Christmas strory for the first time, and see what it must have looked like through their eyes.
Truly, Jesus said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me," and that included the Herdmanns.
Thanks for a great little book! 5 solid stars!

A 30 minute read. Great for the holidays. It will remind you of "that" family at your grade school or church.
