Customer Reviews

This is the funniest children's book I have ever read!
I never read this book as a child. My 3rd grade daughter brought this book home from the school library and asked me to read it with her. Doing my parental duty, I happily sat down to read it to her. Was I in for a surprise! It's the story of a family of obnoxious kids who never went to church a day in their lives who decide they want to play all the main parts in the community Christmas pageant. Their antics are absolutely hysterical! This is a great book to share with your kids.

A year-round classic!
This is an absolutely terrific book! I remember my parents reading this book to me every year when I was little, and now, at 25 I still giggle over the antics of the characters (and get a little weepy at the end!) I recommend it for all ages.

A great way to get yourself into the Christmas Spirit!
This book is a "must read" for anyone who wants a Christmas story they can read year after year, always with a chuckle and perhaps even a tear at the end..."Unto YOU a child is born!" This is one I read at the first of December EVERY year and it always starts the season off right! It's enjoyable enough, that it can easily be read in one evening.
