This is one of my favorite books from my childhood! I always enjoyed reading it every year at Christmas time. A great story about the Herdmans and how they made the annual Christmas Pageant the best ever. :)

The book is outragious, lively, funny and wonderful. The Christmas story takes on a srangely moving depth of meaning and shines through with a new brilliance.

This, is by far, my family's favorite Christmas book. I know that a friend of mine was hesitant to read it due to the rudeness and crudity of the Herdmans. BUT, after I explained that THAT is what the book is all about, their encounter with the Christmas Story and how it profoundly changes them. I can never read the last chapter without bawling! Shared with my children this past year as a read aloud. It was a touching moment to share with my oldest who totally "got it". DEFINITELY worth reading.

This is an excellent book for young or old. It's wonderful for teaching the REAL Christmas story in a sneaky and humorous way. It is great for teaching compassion and tolerance.
