This is a good book. Definitely read it rather than watching the movie which is terrible.

Ah, the magic of Christmas as told through this gorgeous and engaging book. If only they hadn't made that creepy movie...

"Late on Christmas Eve, after the town has gone to sleep, a boy boards a mysterious train that waits for him: the Polar Express bound for the North Pole. When he arrives there, Santa offers him any gift he desires. The boy modestly asks for one bell from the reindeer's harness. It turns out to be a very special gift, for only believers in Santa can hear it ring." (From Amazon)
A great story to read with your children at Christmas!

This is such a touching, memorable story with charming illustrations. It's a shame that the movie based on it is so cheesy and features creepy animation.
