Hobbit/LOTR book versions for kids?

1
Hey all,
So my 4 year old is really starting to get into Lord of the Rings. He loves FotR (but we have to close our eyes when the Ringwraiths are on screen)... He's even going as Legolas for Halloween!

Anyhoo I was asking about Christmas ideas and he said he wanted 'Lord of the Rings books'. Now.... books to him are picture books or Step1 reading books. I've done some searching and can't seem to find any short versions for him to 'read'.

Is anyone aware if they've ever come out with kids picture books for the Hobbit or LotR? I figure they must have at some point over the years (if not it seems like a missed opportunity).

Thanks all!

So because I'm impatient and a geek dad, I've been reading my kiddo The Hobbit already. Screw waiting for picture-book version. At four months old, I highly doubt he understands a word of it, but he hangs on Every. Single. Word. We read it almost every night for about a half hour before bed. He tends to fall asleep during, which is a magic on its own...
