American Bookseller "As always, the forms are sculptured, the perspectives as dazzling as they are audacious, the colors rich and elegant, the use of light and shadow masterly." Horn Book Guide "The Polar Express is magic indeed." The New York Times "The sumptuous pastel effects-train lights seen through falling snow and a vertiginous overhead view, from Santa's sleigh, of his popular city-make this one of Van Allsburg's most treasured visions." Newsweek "One couldn't select a more delightful and exciting premise for a children's book than the tale of a young boy lying awake on Christmas Eve only to have Santa Claus sweep by and take him on a trip with other children to the North Pole. And one couldn't ask for a more talented artist and writer to tell the story than Chris Van Allsburg. Van Allsburg, a sculptor who entered the genre nonchalantly when he created a children's book as a diversion from his sculpting, won the 1986 Caldecott Medal for this book, one of several award winners he's produced.

Excellent kids' Christmas book about a train journey!
This book, a true classic, features a wonderful plot about a little boy named Chris going on a train on the night of Christmas Eve. It has excellent illustrations. It became a favorite as soon as I received it as a Christmas gift from my dad. (Thanks, Dad!) I'd recommend it to all fans of "The Polar Express" merchandise!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Sloppy shipping.
The book was more or less fine- a few tears on the jacket. But the packaging was a Digiorno pizza box that was tattered, smelly and sloppy. Spend the two minutes to pick up a free clean cardboard box from the grocery store vs one that had food directly in it. Just weird.
