I generally think that books are better than the movies that follow them, and this book is fantastic, but with the marvelous graphics film-makers use nowadays, the movie was mind-boggling in its beauty and sheer magic!
What a ride!!! This author is sheer magic, too!
Reviewer is the author of THE TOONIES INVADE SILICON VALLEY

Too many Christmas books just throw reindeer and presents and Santa and chimneys into a big pot, blend them together, and voila! another Christmas story. --- The nice thing about Polar Express is that it takes "BELIEF" and expands the word into the memorable ringing of a bell.

Eloquently expressing a concept is what makes Christmas stories memorable. Others like this would include "A Christmas Memory" by Truman Capote ("BONDING") as well as "The Blacksmith's Gift" by Dan T. Davis ("PURPOSE")

You can read "The Polar Express" at Christmas of course, but books like these are great anytime of the year.

Did you ever listen for Santas bells? I read a book where someone went on a train and a mountain and the train was called The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. The two
biggest people that believe in Santa! I think the author wants you to know that it is always good to believe. Read this book to see if his sister can hear the bell.

this book is one of the best christmas books out there, besides the night before christmas. i have loved this book for so long, that know my future kids will love it too
