For 35 years, The Polar Express has been a worldwide bestseller and Christmas classic.
The story of a boy who is overcome with doubts on Christmas Eve: does Santa Claus really exist? And suddenly, oh miracle! - he finds himself with other children on the Polar Express, which is heading to the North Pole to visit Santa himself! But this is only the beginning of the adventures... He will see the elves, see the most important place on Earth where Christmas presents are made and even ask Santa for a gift - a small bell from a reindeer team. But will anyone hear the sound of this bell except the boy himself?
This book is about believing in miracles. About the ability to be surprised. About how miracles sometimes happen even to those who don't believe in them.
A wonderful gift for any child or family who loves to read and discover new things.
The full-length animated film based on the book "The Polar Express" received three Oscar nominations (directed by Robert Zemeckis)
The book won the Caldecott Medal.
