Loved this charming Christmas story book! It is fun, heartwarming, entertaining, and a perfect read for an elementary aged student. There is now a movie on it too, really good too- it will put you into the Christmas spirit as it brings out the whole meaning of why we celebrate this beautiful and merry holiday.

A time-honored fun & short story with a beautiful ending! I’m starting to read a chapter a day to my grandkids leading up to the new movie release in November directed by Dallas Jenkins. Everyone needs the message delivered in this book-especially just prior to Christmas!

This was a wonderful book about Christmas and the story of Jesus coming into our world to be our Savior. And yes, the Herdmans made it all seem so real. At the beginning of the book, I was laughing so much I cried. By the last chapter, I was thrilled by how the Christmas pageant became the best one ever

I've been wanting to read this for years! It is so entertaining and sometimes I laughed out loud..I remember my Christmas plays as a child and how wild some of our rehearsals were! Loved this so much!!

Two thumbs up! It was a quick read but so worth it. I will be reading it to my loved ones for Christmas.

This was the perfect story to read Christmas Day. Just the right combination of humor and sincerity. Gotta love the Herdman kids.

Very tongue-in-cheek, very entertaining, and a mostly-clean read. Told from the perspective of a young girl not understanding how things are and how thing sound to older readers, which adds a few levels of both comedy and depth. Got interested after seeing the movie trailer. The book doesn’t disappoint.

Yep, it’s been years since I’ve read this book and it’s still just as good. The movie did such a good job. So I’m gonna say that not only should you buy the book, you should buy the audio version and then also go see the movie. You’re gonna have fun.

This book amused me greatly as a kid, and it still does as a middle aged adult. It amused my mom and her friend, who are seniors. All age groups will find humour and interest in this story. It's well written and there are no boring parts. It's excellent.

The best Christmas read! I read this book out loud with my kids and what fun we had. The kids were vaguely aware of the Christmas story, but hadn't ever thought of it the way the Herdmans did. So when it did come up, we did stop and ponder on it.. Saying 'thats actually right!' Smaran says - it was a great book telling us about the story of Jesus and explained about deep feelings about Christmas Avni says - the books is about the spirit of Christmas and you can always change.. It's never too late to become loving and grateful for the spirit of Christmas.

I wanted to read this with my 10 yr old and 5 yr old sons, to share one of my happiest childhood memories with them. Much to my delight, they both got right into the story and cheered with happiness at the end. And now we have a new family tradition, reading this on Christmas Eve. So happy. :-)

Had the book for decades, lost it and decided for the kindle version, this time in English. No Herdmans no Christmas. Absolutely must have

Una bonita y optimista historia navideña, perfecta para leer en familia o para practicar el inglés. La edición de Harper Collins es muy sencilla y el papel tiene aspecto de reciclado (aspecto tosco y color grisáceo).
