Annotated Bibliography #30

The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg

If for no other reason than to look at the beautiful illustrations, everyone should read this book. On Christmas eve, a young boy wakes to the sound of a train in his front yard. This train is the Polar Express. It takes children who still believe to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus. Once there, the young boy is chosen to receive the first gift of Christmas. He chooses a bell from Santa's sleigh, to prove that Santa is real. On the way home, he loses the bell, but it mysteriously shows up Christmas morning. The interesting thing about the bell is that only true believers can hear it ring. Can you hear the bell?
