Overview

The Herdmans are the worst kids in the history of the world. They lie, steal, smoke cigars, swear, and hit little kids. So no one is prepared when this outlaw family invades church one Sunday and decides to take over the annual Christmas pageant.

None of the Herdmans has ever heard the Christmas story before. Their interpretation of the tale— the Wise Men are a bunch of dirty spies and Herod needs a good beating— has a lot of people up in arms. But it will make this year's pageant the most unusual anyone has seen and, just possibly, the best one ever.

My children (ages 13-7) all enjoyed this story. It is a good choice for family listening. Story is short and funny, so should appeal to adults as well.
