thought the wish would come true!Home Alone arrived in theaters twenty-five
years ago, and remains the #1 highest-grossing live-action comedy film of all
time. Now, illustrator Kim Smith has reimagined the story as a classic Christmas
fable–complete with bumbling burglars, brilliant booby-traps, and a little boy
named Kevin who's forced to fend for himself. Through a series of comic
adventures, Kevin learns lessons about responsibility and the importance of
family. With an amusing read-aloud story and enchanting, immersive
illustrations, this charming adaptation can be enjoyed year after year alongside
The Polar Express, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and other Christmas storybook
classics.
