1/1/2022 Just finished my annual rereading of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Still funny but this year it brought a tear to my eye as I realized how much the Herdmans changed. As the narrator's mother said that there was good deep down in the Herdmans, I saw that she was right. They changed. W...
I know for a fact I read this book in elementary school, but I didn't remember anything about it. It turns out 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever' is about how the Herdmans, a gang of ill-bred ruffian poor children, hijack the Christmas play at Church because they thought there would be food, and they...
I laughed throughout this hilarious story of the Herdmans consisting of Ralph, Imogene, Leroy, Claude, Ollie, and Gladys. My first thought is that I can see why the kids are terrible if their parents named them that. This is honestly a short and sweet story about a clan of terrible kids who have the...
This book is an amazing example of how people can change for the good. This book is about a family of children that terrorize their school along with the town. No one likes to see the Herdmans coming their way. One Christmas, the Herdmans hear a boy in their class talk about the snacks he gets in Su...
You won't be disappointed with this one, trust me. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is a story that has captured the heart of many. The Herdman kids are the town's worst nightmare. They lie, steal, cheat, and...well, let's just say that they aren't the greatest example. So, as you can imagine, when t...
Read the book and did the play when I was in 4th grade I think. You somehow find yourself some sort of relation to a member of the Herdman family, they are all so outrageous but you find yourself wanting to be in their family. I think this would be a super fun reader's theater.
My favorite Christmas story. Just gets better every year. Humor and changes of heart. I love the Herdman's take on Christmas but a more true take you'll never get.
This might be my third time through this book. We were introduced to it, shortly after it came out, by an interim pastor at the Presbyterian church we attended in Pittsburgh, back in the dark ages when we were still living in academic poverty. Then, I re-read it a decade or so ago, while I was hidin...
I read this out loud to a seven-year-old. It turned out that it required some explaining that probably makes it better for someone a few years older, but it was mostly fine and we enjoyed it. I read this when I was young and its message has always stayed with me.
