THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER was published in 1972 but is still considered a good read for elementary students. The Herdman children are not children who would normally be part of a Christmas pageant. The only place that other children can escape the Herdmans is at home and church. The Herdman children learn that food is served at church and soon take the lead roles in the Christmas pageant by bullying their way into these roles. The Herdman children have never heard the Christmas story. From their understanding, Herod should receive a beating and the children believe that should be a major part of the pageant. With these changes to the Christmas pageant, will the pageant ever go on?

This laugh out loud chapter book is a great read for most upper elementary students. With only 89 pages, most students will find this as a quick read. I would recommend this to anyone who has ever participated in a Christmas pageant young or old.

Other books by Barbara Robinson include:
*The Best Halloween Ever
*The Best School Year Ever
