Synopsis
A magical train ride on Christmas Eve takes a boy to the North Pole to receive a special gift from Santa Claus., On Christmas Eve a young boy who truly believes in Santa Claus is invited to board the Polar Express--a train that brings him and other young believers directly to the North Pole. Once there, the boy is chosen by Santa himself to receive the very first gift of the Christmas season. The gift the boy selects, a bell from the harness of one of Santa's reindeers, becomes a magical reminder of the boy's very special night. A look at not only the magic of Christmas, but also at the power of faith and the wonder of innocence, THE POLAR EXPRESS is illustrated with carefully detailed pastel oil paintings on brown paper and is the winner of the 1986 Caldecott Medal., The remarkable New York Times bestseller and Caldecott Medal-winning book about a little boy's faith in Christmas can now be read along with Liam Neeson. The actor's vivid reading of the story, on both CD and cassette tape, is accompanied by Michael Moss's musical score. A souvenir bell with ribbon is included.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "On Christmas eve, many years ago, I lay quietly in my bed. I did not rustle the sheets. I breathed slowly and silently. I was listening for a sound--a sound a friend told me I'd never hear--the ringing bells of Santa's sleigh."
