(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kim Smith. AHHHHHHH!!! Did they have to try to shoehorn the classic holiday film into a picture book format? Actually, the result isn't bad. The writing, which describes the indoor adventures of young Kevin, whose family members forget him when they leave town a few days before Christmas, isn't much more imaginative than stage directions, but Smith captures the film's holiday-glossy mischief.
