The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg

5.0

A modern Holiday classic. As a book it's quite a simple children's story without tons of detail, but still manages to get the point across. Which is what makes the movie so unreal. The book gets all the credit for the idea and the story and the premise, but this is a rare case where the movie is actually better. They brought it to life in unimaginable ways and added so much depth to the adventure and most importantly to the characters. But for a kids book - can't beat it. Spread the joy and buy a copy for the young person in your life.
