Funny, 20. Mai 2000

When I was a child, my mother bought this book and read it to my brother and myself. We laughed hard. What I remember most, is how much laughter it gave my mom. Its nice seeing someone that happy.

If you need a laugh, and are a child in heart, by this book.

Why? Because where else can you find all the majority of the main characters of a kids novel...bad?

       The best children's book I've ever read!, 3. März 2000

I didn't read this book until I was 32 years old and it made my day! I laughed so hard that I thought that I was going to hurt something. I loved the Herdmans because I grew up with a lot of kids like them. I now know why this is a classic that will continue on long after I'm gone. Ms. Robinson did a fantastic job of incorperating humor in many, many poignant moments. I laughed reading every page until the last two or three when the tears came. You couldn't help but be deeply touched by how, for a few brief moment, the Herdmans cleaned up their act to tell the wonderful story of Christmas in their own special way. I had the opportunity to spend a day with Ms. Robinson last year and let me tell you all, it was the experience of a lifetime. She's a fantastic lady who is absolutely incredible with children.

      It's definitely not a Disney thing..., 24. Februar 2000

I read this book several times before it made much sense to me. Then I just had to pass it on to others. I read children's books because I babysit a lot. I noticed that this one is often a favorite because the kids weren't too good, and the language was 'naughty'. Kids like to be able to read about something other than perfect lives and happy people. This book presents a bunch of kids that are nowhere near perfect, but seem to love each other and accept one another in their own ways. It's a far cry from A Christmas Carol and some other classic Christmas stories, but it is more realistic in the sense that the kids aren't perfect. No one is. This book is really cute and it will always be a hit because some things are just really unexpected. If you're looking for a non-typical Christmas story, this is it.

       Very funny!, 27. Januar 2000

I think this is a great book! I liked it because it was very funny. I also think it teaches the true meaning of Christmas. I would recommend this book to anyone!

      The Best Christmas Pagent Ever, 14. Januar 2000

The Best Christmas Pagent Ever was an ok book. It wasn't the best book I have ever read but it was sort of funny. I would reccomend this book for anyone who likes funny books, or some one who likes books that have people who get in trouble.
