Hey! Unto you a child is born!The Herdmans are absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie and steal and smoke cigars (even the girls). They talk dirty, hit little kids, cuss their teachers, set fire to Fred Shoemaker's old broken-down toolhouse, and take the name of the Lord in vain. So no one is prepared when the Herdmans invade church one Sunday-and decide to take over the annual Christmas pageant.None of them has ever heard the Christmas story before. Their interpretation—the Wise Men are a bunch of dirty spies and Herod needs a good beating—has a lot of people up in arms. But the actual pageant is full of surprises for everyone, starting with the Herdmans themselves.

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.
