Book Description:

The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, steal, smoke cigars, swear, and hit little kids. So no one is prepared when this outlaw family invades church one Sunday and decides to take over the annual Christmas pageant.

None of the Herdmans has ever heard the Christmas story before. Their interpretation of the tale -- the Wise Men are a bunch of dirty spies and Herod needs a good beating -- has a lot of people up in arms. But it will make this year's pageant the most unusual anyone has seen and, just possibly, the best one ever.

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 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.
