Eight-year-old Kevin McCallister wished his family would
disappear. He never thought his wish would come true!
Home Alone arrived in theaters 25 years ago, and it
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.
