The Herdmans show up at the church Christmas Pageant tryouts and everyone is horrified. Why? Because they are horrible children! They steal, burn down buildings, and terrorize the neighborhood. Your students will love the story of how the Herdmans and their community learn to work together, while learning the true meaning of Christmas. These activities and tests are excerpted from Sue Jones Erlenbusch's Favorite Books Activities Kits. |
