The Best Christmas Pageant Ever Movie Tie-In Edition: An Award-Winning Holiday Classic of Laughter and Christmas Spirit―Now a Major Motion Picture from Lionsgate

A time-honored fun & short story with a beautiful ending! I’m starting to read a chapter a day to my grandkids leading up to the new movie release in November directed by Dallas Jenkins. Everyone needs the message delivered in this book-especially just prior to Christmas!

I've been wanting to read this for years! It is so entertaining and sometimes I laughed out loud..I remember my Christmas plays as a child and how wild some of our rehearsals were! Loved this so much!!

My mom read this book to my brother and me every Christmas-time back in the 80's. It was hilarious then, and re-reading it as an adult it's still hilarious. I catch a lot more nuance to the story now that I'm a grown-up. As a kid, it was sweet, funny and a touch rebellious. I grew up Baptist so it was funny to read a book with such "naughty" villains. You might not believe such an adventure could happen, but after all, "Ollie had a sprouted pussywillow growing out of his ear and the school nurse even said it was true!"

I loved the book, I laughed, those kids were so out of control! But in the end I cried. It was such a good read I had to pass it along.

Good read especially for children

It is a good story. I was anticipating a surprise ending, and that lowered my expectations.

Not your typical feel-good Christmas pageant tale. Nor is it a religious tale. A story about a group of unchurched and uneducated group of children who become the focus of the Christmas Story, retelling it in their own unique way.

I used to read this to my students every year. I don’t know what happened to my copy, so I was happy I could get another.

This book amused me greatly as a kid, and it still does as a middle aged adult. It amused my mom and her friend, who are seniors. All age groups will find humour and interest in this story. It's well written and there are no boring parts. It's excellent.

The best Christmas read!I read this book out loud with my kids and what fun we had. The kids were vaguely aware of the Christmas story, but hadn't ever thought of it the way the Herdmans did. So when it did come up, we did stop and ponder on it.. Saying 'thats actually right!'Smaran says - it was a great book telling us about the story of Jesus and explained about deep feelings about ChristmasAvni says - the books is about the spirit of Christmas and you can always change.. It's never too late to become loving and grateful for the spirit of Christmas.

I wanted to read this with my 10 yr old and 5 yr old sons, to share one of my happiest childhood memories with them. Much to my delight, they both got right into the story and cheered with happiness at the end. And now we have a new family tradition, reading this on Christmas Eve. So happy. :-)

Had the book for decades, lost it and decided for the kindle version, this time in English. No Herdmans no Christmas. Absolutely must have

Una bonita y optimista historia navideña, perfecta para leer en familia o para practicar el inglés. La edición de Harper Collins es muy sencilla y el papel tiene aspecto de reciclado (aspecto tosco y color grisáceo).
