As the yearly Christmas pageant rolled around, the Herdman kids decided to go to church. They smoked cigars in the bathroom (even the girls) and stole money out of the offering plate. After Mrs. Armstrong broke her leg, Beth’s mom has to take on the pageant. No one really expected the Herdmans to take an interest in the pageant but they did; and they threatened the other kids into letting them have the key parts. While this is not the traditional pageant, the message is brought through in a new way.
This is a good reminder that we can learn from the most unlikely people. Being easy to read and understand, children in second grade could probably read and enjoy this book.
