For twenty-five years, The Polar Express has been a treasured holiday classic. To commemorate this special anniversary, a lavish gift edition has been created. The set includes a CD audio recording read by Liam Neeson, a keepsake "All Aboard" ornament, and a note from author Chris Van Allsburg.
Awarded the prestigious Caldecott Medal in 1986, The Polar Express has sold more than 7 million copies, become a classic holiday movie, and been translated into stage productions that take place across the United States during the holiday season.
The remarkable New York Times bestseller and Caldecott Medal-winning book about a little boy's faith in Christmas can now be read along with Liam Neeson. The actor's vivid reading of the story, on both CD and cassette tape, is accompanied by Michael Moss's musical score. A souvenir bell with ribbon is included.
