About the Author John Hughes wrote the story and screenplay of Home Alone. He also wrote and directed many popular films for teenagers and adults, including The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. (You’re going to love them when you get a little older.) Chris Columbus directed the movie Home Alone. He has also directed many other celebrated family films, including Mrs. Doubtfire and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Kim Smith illustrated this storybook adaptation of Home Alone —and, just like Kevin McCallister, she likes to eat giant ice cream sundaes for breakfast! She lives in Alberta, Canada.

My niece and nephew are still a bit too long to watch the movie (and to sit through the whole thing). This book does a great job of capturing the magic of the movie. It's a fun read with great illustrations. Adults and kids will really enjoy it.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. To be Home Alone or Not? By Himri The Home Alone is fun to watch once in a while like the Babies day out, appealing to both audiences young and old. What I like best about the illustrated book is the map of the plan as to how Kevin is going to trap the burglars. After that the story gets self-explanatory with the pictures for exa, the glue taped to the fan which will whir up the feathers and create a ruckus. the book is rife with Christmas colours, candy, cookies, festival lights but not overdone to the tacky point. If you dont have much time for the movie, the book is a great alternative.

A Very Abridged Version of the Classic Film, Not Many Traps from the Movie or Burglars Getting Their Comeuppance Action By James N Simpson Those reading or being read to really need to have seen the movie first to get the most out of this as it is a very abridged version of that classic film. If the film hasn't been watched first the book is a little confusing as it jumps from scenes and doesn't explain some others. Such as the burglars slip on the ice steps, then the next page they are inside the house. We also reading this would assume Kevin got into trouble and got sent to his room because he was bad as we don't read about his siblings behaviour setting him up. In fact we learn nothing about his other family members at all, and there are no scenes of them realising Kevin has been left at home and trying to get back to him. We also don't know the family is going on a trip, like Kevin did in the movie, the reader is left to believe they just disappeared into thin air. For some reason in the book version the phone doesn't work as the wires were damaged in a snow storm. Apparently fixing the phone lines is not done over an entire day in this rich neighbourhood.Most of the traps Kevin sets for the burglars in the movie aren't in this book, perhaps leaving out his going to the supermarket, doing washing and unnecessary things like this and adding more of the burglars getting their just desserts from Kevin (which is the reason kids loved the movie when I was a kid), would have been better. Marv and Harry don't really get that hurt in the book either, there's no references to them being the Wet Bandits. It doesn't make much sense that we're told he's scared of his neighbour but then he sits with and has a conversation with him in a church without us seeing all the stuff around that scene that was in the movie. The way it presents in the book he'd just run off and not talk to him. Also it's not explained why he doesn't just tell his neighbour two men said they would return and break into his house that night.Kevin in the book only really has a vague resemblance to Macaulay Culkin, basically Kim Smith the illustrator has just drawn a blonde kid. Mr Marley looks pretty similar though, albeit less scary. This is the sort of book you usually come across if it was written before a movie that greatly expands on the storyline and with vast improvements on it is made. However this was written 25 years later. If anything we really should have been able to read and see through this book's illustrations more traps that were simply too hard for a movie (especially one made in 1990) to have in the film.If you're a huge fan of the film it's probably worth owning a copy of this, otherwise it's really just a novelty to pick up and flick through. I'd recommend borrowing it from your local library before spending any money on it.
