The Herdmans are the most famous kids at Woodrow Wilson School. In fact, they are the most famous kids in the whole town - and they are the worst kids in the history of the world. They are dirty, rotten, lazy, and ornery. They tell lies and smoke cigars and set fire to things. They stay awake from school whenever they want to and won't learn anything when they are there.

Praise for this book

"The story features the Herdmans, the terror of their town. WhenImogene, Ralph, and Gladys muscle in on Sunday School and demandthe leading roles in the Christmas pageant, they get their way be-cause the other kids don't dare challenge them. Chaos results, as theHerdmans act out their unique version of what happened so long ago inBethlehem. And surprise-everyone agrees it was the best Christmaspageant ever. This could become a classic, known as one of the bestChristmas books ever." "-- Publishers Weekly"Wiry-tough, tender-hearted, unsentimental, and consistently funny, the book is in the classic tradition of American humour. Buy it for eight-to-twelves; but the whole family will want to read it.""-- The London Sunday Times

"One of the most enjoyable children's books since The Emerald City of Oz. The book is outrageous, lively, funny and wonderful.

"The true greatness of the Christmas Story, when subjected to thecynical scrutiny of the Horrible Herdmans, and then interpreted bythem, shines through with a new brilliance that just might mark "TheBest Christmas Pageant Ever as a minor classic for youngsters, and theirelders, too." -- "The Sunday Denver Post"Don't miss this hilarious and touching book."--"The Boston Sunday Globe
