Featured Book: The Polar Express

Book CoverDid you know that the 2004 movie The Polar Express is based on the 1985 children's book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg, who also served as one of the animated movie's executive producers? The Polar Express was the 1986 Caldecott Medal winner, and reading the story together has become a beloved holiday tradition of families.

BOOK SYNOPSIS: A young boy, lying awake one Christmas Eve, is welcomed aboard a magical train to the North Pole. The Polar Express makes its way to the city atop the world, where the boy will make his Christmas wish. This is a story for all who believe in the spirit of Christmas and those who treasure the sound of a reindeer’s silver bell.
