The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg (1985, Anniversary, Reinforced Hardcover)

I love this book and bought it for a friend who just became a grandmother. I didn't realize that media mail was so slow. I know the seller was just trying to keep the cost down and I appreciate that, but it didn't arrive in time for the event. I wish I had known up front that it would be so slow and I would have opted for a different shipping method. The seller was very cooperative and did an excellent job wrapping and shipping the item. We had good communication and she seemed like a nice person. This has not always been the case with some of the other (one in particular) other sellers. I would give her service an excellent and the media mail an average rating. So I gave the transaction a good rating which was in the middle. I hope this is understood. She was excellent!

This is one of the most heartwarming stories I've read. The artwork is simple yet colorful. I can never get through the last page without crying its so touching. Every child should have this book, especially just before Christmas.

Loved the movie when I saw it Christmas(2005),
decided to buy my daughter this book as a
Christmas (2006) present, we both love it,
funny thing is she bought me one too! Being
that Chris VanAllburg is a Michigan native
gave me more incentive to purchase this book,
you see I too am from Michigan, hope to one
day have him sign it. It's a well written story
that touches the heart, great for young & old
alike, the graphics pull you into the story,
makes one feel like you're a part of it. Can't
wait to share this book with my grandchildren.
I think it will be a classic one day! Am very
pleased with my purchase of the Polar Express Book.

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for my son. I grew up reading this book each Christmas, and wanted to continue that tradition with my own children. I love the illustrations and the underlying message of the book. I highly recommend it to anyone with children. I'm sure it will become a family favorite.

I bought it for a 4 year old. Ebay Express was great! The prices were reduced, the book like new, if not new, and I received it in good condition in just a few days. Outstanding!

Any one should enjoy reading the Polar Express to any children. It can be a great gift for any child to start the holiday tradition of packing and unpacking lots of products as early as June, and turn that child into a great spender and consumer as soon as possible. However while reading this book a child can dream about the Christmas decorations, reading non-stop about imaginary Santa arriving on Christmas Eve while lots of his peers have not even a slice of bread on their tables, starving from hunger. It is an exciting book to brainwash your child and turn it into a little selfish monster.

I have loved this book since I first read it several years ago. The story is very sweet and nostalgic. The artwork is beautiful. Not a book to be missed by anyone. A Christmas classic.

I was drawn to this book because I really enjoyed the movie that was made 2 or 3 years ago. I've read the book before and really loved it. I recommend this book to any parent with young children.

I love this book! It has become a classic. Van Allsburg created a wonderful vision of the North Pole. The book encourages the use of our imagination and belief in something that, as children, we held dear.
I purchased it because, as an elementary reading teacher, I used it for sharing and for creative writing. I had fallen in love with the book and wanted my own copy again. I left my original copy at the school when I retired. A plus with this purchase is that the music was included. I am a big fan of Josh Groban's music. I look forward to reading it again this Christmas!

I bought this for my 3 year old who LOVES the Polor Express and I couldn't wait until he could read the book anytime he wants!

The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg is an excellent story with outstanding artwork that stirs the wondering spirit of the child within all of us. It received the prestiged Caldecott Medal through extensive review by nationally recognized experts in children's literature.
The book inspired the 2004 movie of the same name that was a featured Best Ever Christmas Film in 2005.
This book is a perfect addition to anyone's collection of prized reading.
Enjoy . . . and B E L I E V E !

I bought this book because my son absolutely loves it and loves the movie. Trains are his favorite and this book keeps him entertained for a long time! Not just for Christmas...

I loved working with this seller. The book came so fast. And it was in great condition! I'll definitely work with this seller again. Thank you so much!!!

Reading this book is our families' Christmas Eve tradition. It's such a gentle, sweet story and the illustrations are entrancing.

The book is my granddaughter's favorite. We listen to the soundtrack and watch the movie all year long! When I saw the book on Ebay at a great price I just had to buy it for her! An excellent, wonderfully inspiring story that will make a "Believer" out of anyone. A true classic!

I am a third grade teacher and we try to share this story with our students each year. I was very excited to find this book at a reasonable price.

Check this link out after you read the following.

Just take a couple of minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally
takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you,
this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you
do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own
personal link after your orders placed.

I would recommend this book as a followup for parents and children who have seen the movie. Like many books that are written after the movie is released, the book lacks some of the magic found in the film. It is however, illustrated in very similar colors and patterns, and the story although abridged and narrated, is the same. The copy we have is a very nice hardcover, that will surely become a favorite. Reading the book helps us relive the magic of the movie. For this purpose, it works very well. I would not recommend it as a primary source of this story line.

My son is at that age where he is in awe of trains and in awe of Santa Claus. We have seen the movie over and over so, I wanted my son to have the book.
Chris Van Allsburg writes a simple story of a boy on Christmas Eve, whose friends have lost the magic of Christmas, waits to hear the sound of Santa's sleigh.
If you are looking for this book to be just like the movie, sorry it's not. It is a simple story about a boy who got on a train and saw Santa. I found it to be very nice, quick, easy reading material for me and my son. Allsburg's words are simple and understandable for a young reader but, at the same time it flows with detail and imagery that someone of any age would appreciate.
Allsberg also did the illustrations. Like his writing style, at first glance may appear a simple children's book illustration but, looking closer the depth of his art work is evident.
I recommend this for anyone that has seen the movie and for those who have not.

Not often do you find stories that will engage your children, and touch your heart as well. Polar Express is a lovely story about the power of believing in the magic of Christmas. The story is sweet and the illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. A must-have for your Christmas library.

Would definitely buy from this seller again. Book cover did have slight tear, but that may have happened when I opened the package! All in all, a satisfying purchase. thanks!

This book, is one of my favorite stories to read my children during the holidays. The rich pictures and timeless story capitivate even the youngest of listeners. The book sends a message to believe, and have hope, and imagine the unthinkable. Far more than just a Christmas tale, it is a tale of life, and living, and enjoying the entire Holiday season.

OUR GRANDCHILDREN WILL BE VISITING US IN DECEMBER TO RIDE THE MT HOOD RAILROAD AS THE POLAR EXPRESS. DURING THIS TRAIN RIDE FROM MT HOOD, OREGON TO THE NORTH POLE WE WILL BE READING THE BOOK. SINCE MY GRANDSON HAS THE BOOK AND WILL BE SITTING WITH GRANDPA - I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD IDEA TO HAVE MY GRANDDAUGHTER LOOKING THRU HER OWN BOOK. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS ADVENTURE IN DECEMBER. I HAVE READ THE BOOK AND JUST LOVE IT. I CAN SEE NOW WHY IT IS SO POPULAR WITH THE YOUNG CHILDREN.
