5 out of 5 stars great book   January 20, 2008
This book will be a classic. My grandson loved it. The artwork is fabulous. This edition is made just for the younger kids.


1 out of 5 stars Certainly not what we expected   January 10, 2007
My children and I are all fans of The Polar Express book and we did enjoy the movie as well. My youngest son, for whom I purchased this book, came to me with his 'review' before I had to ask... and then we gave the book away. Unfortunately, the book was not worth the money we paid for it, and even if it had been free, we would have not enjoyed it. This book is truly `the beginning', only telling the very first part of the story. While it is a Early Reader, it just wasn't interesting or enjoyable for my `beginning reader' to read, especially since we have the original book and the movie. Perhaps if it were sold in a set with other books that continue the story, it would be more enjoyable..

we love the movie and the original book so we were disappointed to find that this reader was so short. where's the rest of the beautiful story???


2 out of 5 stars Not much depth   March 18, 2006
I was a little disappointed. This book doesn't go into a lot of detail and depth like the other Polar Express books I've read. Quite boring!

I bought this book for my granddaughter who has just learned to read. She was excited to be able to read a portion of the book that has always been read to her on xmas eve since she was born. I wish it had been longer and it may have been a little too easy for her. She is in the first grade.
