Book Reviews of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

great christmas story. I loved it as a kid and still do!

This book is great. I enjoyed reading it to my daughter. We had some good laughs. Will be holding on to my copy to share again and again.

Funny and touching story of the meanest family in town learning about Christmas.

A hilarious read; it has become a family favorite on Christmas Eve, especially good for you teachers out there.

Excellent story that has been handed down for many many years. Favorites always make it to the next bookshelf!

very cute and funny story for children of all ages. The tough kids of the town end up being the delight of the Christmas pageant that nearly flopped.

This book was so cute and funny. I read it in one afternoon and it really got me into the Christmas spirit!

Great book for kids 8 and up!!!

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 a book that I loved as a child and that my eight year old son just finished reading and he too loved!

This has been a family classic since I was a little girl, read aloud every Christmas. It's wonderful to see my nieces and nephews enjoying the book now--even the kindergarten ages enjoy it. Never stops being funny and it's very quotable.

We read this book every year! We love it!
