Kevin Kling's Holiday Inn

Kevin Kling&#39;s first book, The Dog Says How, brought readers into his wonderful world of the skewed and significant mundane. Kling does it again in Kevin Kling&#39;s Holiday Inn, a romp through a yearful of holidays and a lifetime of gathering material.<br /><br />A wiener dog with an amazing capacity for destruction impresses the whole family and contributes to their collection of favorite disastrous Christmas stories. A Choctaw and a nun go trick-or-treating on Halloween. A boy makes a frightening decision every year when he chooses which classmate gets the &quot;Be Mine&quot; Valentine. Kevin takes his mom to a Fourth of July demolition derby–and then he takes an epic trip around the bases at a ball game on Memorial Day.<br /><br />From tomfoolery with his brother in the backseat of their dad&#39;s car through his carefully considered instructions for ice fishing, Kling never loses the spirit of his story or holds back on its humor.
