The Polar Express: 35th Anniversary Edition

Affordable and beautiful.

Good Read by my daughter who liked the same.

What a gorgeous edition for celebrating 30th anniversary of the book. The size of the book is enormously large to demonstrate the beautiful artistry by the author. The full size illustrations are too good and very well depict the imaginary world. My son loved the movie of same title and watched it so many times that I thought of gifting this wonderful edition to him. And he was so thrilled to receive it, going through it 2-3 times on the day he got it. There is a small note from the author at the end of the book which is worth reading. As we grow up and start adjusting with the reality, we slowly start leaving behind the childhood imaginary world which once thrilled and entertained our lives. But there is always a train that would take us to that bygone days and help cherish the memories forever. There is a password in the book to download the audio book which has a melodious background symphony. Listening to the audio while going through the illustrations is the thing your kid would surely love. * Note - Above review is for the 30th Anniversary Edition ISBN 978-0544580145

Very nicely done. Lovely imagery. For me, the book came to life. A classic for the ages and one that I read every now and then when winter sets in and Christmas is around the corner.

Very nice illustrations. Beautiful font. Giving 4 stars only because being an adult I felt it's very short especially after seing movie this seems a very short summary. Also, size of book could be bigger only to bring artwork to a greater life. Still, it's great to have it, own it. Seing the cover itself brings a smile on my face everytime I have a look at it. Thanks to the author for creating this book I still hear the bell.

Does not encourage independent thinking. Wants kids to continue to believe in Santa Claus.

I ordered it for my 5 year old. Immer both love it. Paper quality is also very good but the colours could have been brighter as kids love colourful story books

Got a hardcover book as a memory inspite of the high price. Didnt like the book. It hardly matches the actual story line as showcased in the movie and has a ton of detail missing. The illustrations too are hyped to an extent. Poor user experience and a waste of money considering the high price paid!

My grandkids love this story, i also bought the bell from amazon.

Häftad bok med fina bilder.

There is no audio with the book

Está en inglés. La historia es ligeramente diferente a la película, pero es preciosa y las ilustraciones también. A mi hijo le encanta. El formato es elegante pero un poco grande para un niño.

映画を始めに知って、大好きになって絵本を購入しました。絵本を読むことで、双方の芸術作品としてのリスペクトが深まります。 絵はとても暖かい優しいタッチで描かれています。 内容もとても素敵！！ 大切にします。
