Immediately following the success of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott sat down to write An-Old Fashioned Girl, expanding on the subject of rich versus poor that she explored in her first novel. It’s a story of a country mouse and a city mouse: 14-year-old Polly Milton travels to Boston for a stay with her friend Fanny Shaw. The wealthy Shaws’ way of life is foreign to Polly who tries to adapt but is quickly labeled “old-fashioned”. Fanny and her friends dress and behave as their elders do, flirting with boys and gossiping.

Barbara, can we have a "re-do?"
- By Nancy on 02-22-12
Publisher's summary
The six Herdman children are “absolutely the worst kids in the history of the world”. They lie and steal and smoke cigars. They even burned down Fred Shoemaker’s old toolhouse. Now they’re taking over the Christmas pageant.
The Herdmans have never heard the Christmas story before, and they don’t know anything about shepherds or Wise Men. When Imogene hears about the swaddling clothes, she demands to know why anyone would tie up a baby and put him in a feedbox. Leroy, Claude, and Ollie are planning on a gift that means much more than gold, frankincense, and myrrh - the ham from their Christmas basket.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, now also a television movie, has been a favorite of children and their parents since 1972. As C.J. Critt’s spirited narration captures the lively and outrageous spin that the Herdmans put on the Nativity scene, listeners will delight in this unusual and refreshing interpretation of Christmas.

When Haven Kimmel was born in 1965, Mooreland, Indiana, was a sleepy little hamlet of 300 people. Nicknamed "Zippy" for the way she would bolt around the house, this small girl was possessed of big eyes and even bigger ears. In this witty and lovingly told memoir, Kimmel takes readers back to a time when small-town America was caught in the amber of the innocent postwar period - people helped their neighbors, went to church on Sunday, and kept barnyard animals in their backyards.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 374
When Haven Kimmel was born in 1965, Mooreland, Indiana, was a sleepy little hamlet of 300 people. Nicknamed "Zippy" for the way she would bolt around the house, this small girl was possessed of big eyes and even bigger ears. In this witty and lovingly told memoir, Kimmel takes readers back to a time when small-town America was caught in the amber of the innocent postwar period - people helped their neighbors, went to church on Sunday, and kept barnyard animals in their backyards.

Katie Welker is used to being alone. She would rather read a book than deal with other people. Other people don't have silver eyes. Other people can't make things happen just by thinking about them! But these special powers make Katie unusual, and it's hard to make friends when you're unusual. Katie knows that she's different but she's never done anything to hurt anyone, so why is everyone afraid of her? Maybe there are other kids out there who have the same silver eyes . . . and the same talents . . . and maybe they'll be willing to help her.

Kizzy Ann Stamps is starting at a new school, the just-integrated public school, and she’s worried. She’s worried that the white students won’t like her, and she’s worried they’ll stare at the scar that runs from the tip of her right eye to the corner of her smile - the scar a neighbor boy gave her, in a farming accident. But now this same boy won’t stop following Kizzy and Shag, her beloved border collie, everywhere they go - even when they’re practicing for an upcoming herding competition. And though Kizzy and Shag have been training hard, Kizzy and her coach aren’t sure they’ll even let her, a black girl, enter the competition.

The holidays are upon us, and this year Audible is very happy to present to our members one of Charles Dickens’ most popular Christmas stories, The Cricket on the Hearth. This holiday classic (original subtitle: “A Fairy Tale of Home”) tells the innocent, picturesque, and charming story of a poor family and their would-be guardian angel; in short, a delightful vision of Victorian Christmas. As always, a great story calls for a great voice, so we’ve brought in legendary actor and record-breaking Audie and Grammy award-winning narrator Jim Dale ( The Night Circus). Happy holidays and happy listening!

Childhood and adulthood favorite
The humor is just as good as I remember it as a child. My kids and husband thought it hilarious too. Now, as an adult though, I am catching on to the humbling reality of our pride and comfort/familiarity we have with the Christmas story. It is indeed wonderful and to see it through the Herdman's eyes has been a humbling and sobering experience. It also gave me a great opportunity to point out to my kids, that "unchurched" people who might do things/say things we don't as Christian's should not be ostracized but need to be lovingly taught and told the gospel. Not judged and looked down on. It's become a new adulthood favorite as I laughed and choked back tears.

not a very good reader
there are two versions of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. In this particular version the narrator is not very good. She does not seem to use the proper inflection to give you the feel of the story so to speak. However the other recording of This Book the narrator is spot-on! I will definitely be listening to the other version from here on out. Do yourself a favor by the other one it's the exact same story just read in a much better way!

My favorite book.
The reader's voice is a little scratchy like that of an older lady. I'd prefer it be read by a younger voice, more consistent with the narrator character.

Such an awesome story!
A good family story for the holidays!!!! I ❤️ it. My 7 year old son says his favorite part of this story is when the three wise men bring baby Jesus a ham instead of their normal gifts.

The Best
I read this book in 5th grade (40 years ago) and also watched the movie. My local theater put on this performance and it was so nostalgic. It’s a favorite for sure!

I’m not sure how this could have been any better. Story, performance - every element was excellent!
The audio dramatization of such a lively book with so many voices done so well you could just see the characters!
The story is delightful and makes you think seriously as well.

“Christians” could learn a lot from this story!
If you listen and then hear what is really being said... Jesus came for everyone not just those that act or look a certain way. The “Mom” in this story is my Supper Hero by showing true acceptance, patience and love. There was more of Jesus in this story than I have seen in many churches. Amazing story that had me laughing out loud and crying by the end. Listened with my family on the way to family Christmas! The reader did a great job capturing the voices and the tone of the story. Thank you!

Wonderful story to hear on Thanksgiving road trip!
Any additional comments?
My whole family -- including a 12yo girl and 8yo boy -- enjoyed this very much. It was the perfect accompaniment to our 2 hour trip to meeting up w/relatives to share Thanksgiving dinner.
