It's one of those stories where the text tells the story but the illustrations convey the mood. There's a fun reveal at the end for readers who miss the clues. I for one was coming up with all kinds of more outrageous explanations for why the boy was shouting "Neville!" and of course had to read it through again once I got to the end.
Plus, a second read makes you notice the details in the illustrations that tell the story in their own way. On the first page, the boy and his belongings are in color while the houses an street are sepia-toned. As soon as the other boy joins him on the corner, the grass becomes greener, and by the time all the kids are gathered around the colors are bright and vivid. As they head home, all the houses have gained personality and color. It's a subtle but effective technique. (less)

I meant to listen to it before Christmas, but it was just as much fun in January. I enjoyed it both for the humor - which hits a sweet spot of slightly ridiculous but not too much so - and the way this family of 'bad' kids manages to get the Christmas story in ways that the 'good' kids don't, if only because it's so familiar to them. I spend the weeks before Christmas going over the Christmas story with 4 and 5 year olds in Sunday School, and while they don't ask questions quite like the Herdmans, they do notice things in a different way then we adults do after years of hearing the story. The story never feels preachy, simply funny and sincere.(less)

Here, Santa wears a fantastic variety of...are these boxers? Shorts? Whatever they are, I love them - we see the seasons progress through the patterns on them, plus they make him instantly fun and child-like, despite the beard and belly. Most of the pages are made up of a series of smaller illustrations, showing Santa in the process of researching kids, choosing gifts, testing toys, wrapping, and finally opening his own present (which is almost always exactly what he wanted).
I used this in our special Christmas storytime - an all ages group, from toddlers up through school kids - and it went over well. I just wished the pictures were bigger, since I think a lot of the details were lost on the kids towards the back. Great pacing for a read-aloud, but the detail might make it better suited for small groups.(less)
