Book Summary by Miss Mott's Class:
Every year, the church puts on a Christmas Pageant. All of the children dreaded being in the pageant because it was always the same...that is until now.
Mrs. Armstrong, the usual director of the play, broke her leg and was unable to organize the pageant. Mother was left in charge. The Herdman's, a poor family with bad manners,ended up with the lead roles. None of the Herdman's had ever heard of the Christmas story before. They had never gone to church or read the Bible.
Play practices were a disaster. Nothing went right, but Mother was determined to make the pageant the best Christmas pageant ever, even if the Herdmans did have the lead roles.
The pageant ended up being the best one ever. Everyone said so. It was not perfect...Imogene burped baby Jesus, Gladys hollered her lines, and the wiseman brought Jesus a ham. What made the pageant special was that it was different. Imogene's tears, the lessons learned, and the change in the Herdman's behavior revealed what Christmas is all about.
