Title: This is a PLAY - not the short story - and it's wonderful.
Review: Most reviews seem to be focusing on something other than what this is - either they are complaining about delivery or were confused about what they were ordering.This is the PLAY version of this story, adapted by Barbara Robinson herself. We just finished a production and it's wonderful. Great story, compactly told with nice narration. If you don't know the book - get it, read it, it's a great mix of fun and honestly with a touch of a tear-maker at the end. A good mix of what is in the book, but with an eye to theatricality. There are a couple transitions that were weird for us, since the play was adapted very surely with a proscenium stage in mind, which we don't have, so curtain fly-ins and in-one scenes were really not an option, BUT...those are issues we solved.

Title: Looking for a Christmas Play - here's one for you!
Review: This is an excellent play for a Christmas program. It has a large cast, so be prepared. However, all of the characters are wonderfully written, as well as the story. It is a comical approach to putting together a Christmas program, which I have done for several years.If you are looking for a play to tell the Christmas story, and how all Christians need to work together despite our differences - I would highly recommend this production. Plus, it is very funny which is always a plus.It was a great script to read!

Title: The best children's Christmas book/play ... ever.
Review: Best children's Christmas book/play of all time. You will laugh, cry, and actually think about Christ and the meaning of Christmas ... taught by the meanest kids in town.

Title: Good book, great story, but I wanted the script.
Review: The book pictured in blue was not the book sent to me. I was disappointed because the other books with the same title are the story. Which is a wonderful story. But what I ordered was the blue book of the same title but it is written in "script" form to use for a play or theater application. It was very inexpensive and I didn't return or dispute it because I can always use another copy. But if the ad and the book were better identified or described I wouldn't have bought another story version, when I wanted the script instead.I really think the picture in advertising was displayed incorrectly. I have recently ordered the blue version, which is the script format, and it came as advertised.The script form is a wonderful application of the story to be used as a play or dramatic presentation. Very little you have to do to make it work for adults or children.In the future, to anyone who reads this, be sure to ask if it is the story book form or script form. For some of you the story is what you want and it is indicated with a couple different types of pictures on the front of the book. The script form is as you see it, which is the blue cover and says (Script).

Title: nice to have for my play collection
Review: I love the book and play of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever." I'm going to be in the play in a small role, and I wanted to have my own copy of the script.

Title: Best Christmas Pageant Ever
Review: I love this play. It is so funny. It must be cut and approved in order to be used at OAP, but I have seen it performed and it is so much fun.

Review: I thought I had purchased a proper book for $34.00 and all it is is a very small paperback.
