The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

I decided to read a quick Christmas classic that I had never read before... The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. I was definitely pleased and very amused. It was short (which I love) and a great telling about the Christmas Story. A family of wild children who terrorize everyone they meet and do horrible pranks to their schoolmates and teachers end up becoming the main characters in the local church Christmas Pageant. The six Herdman's play Mary, Joseph, the Angel of the Lord, and the three Wise Men. They had actually never heard of the Christmas Story before and through rehearsals and their own surprising interest in learning more about it, they put on a Christmas Pageant that no one will forget, giving it their own special twists and interpretation.

I fully enjoyed this short children's story. I imagine it would also be a great read aloud for young and older kids alike. I see Emma really liking his story later on and may plan on reading it to her at Christmas times.
