The Polar Express is a classic children's book about Christmas, that has been loved by thousands of children since it came out over 20 years ago. The story is about a young boy who begins to lose his belief of Santa Claus. The night before Christmas a magic train called the Polar Express pulls up in front of his house and he is invited to the North Pole. At the North Pole he experiences many wonderful things and at the end he begins to believe in Santa Claus again.

This book is wonderful, with its storyline and its illustrations. It's a great book to read to children during the holiday season, and they are sure to love it. I'm 19 years old, and I still love reading this book during Christmas because not only is it a classic, but it gets everyone in the Christmas spirit. The movie is good as well, but it's not nearly as good as the book.
