karenstory 's review for:
The Polar Express
by Chris Van Allsburg
Catching Up...
This story book, also a Caldecott winner (the most distinguished American picture book for children), is probably most well-known as a major motion picture.
The illustrations are an impressionist style of art portraying various scenes through oil pastels. Sometimes blurred to give a sense of drama.
The story is about a magical train ride on Christmas eve for a boy heading to the North Pole to receive a special gift from Santa Claus.
Mostly…
This boy wants to believe…
Is Santa Claus real?
Would a Santa sleigh bell provide him the answer he needs?
“Though I’ve grown old, the bell still rings for me as it does for all who truly believe.”
