One Christmas Eve night there was a restless boy that was unable to fall asleep due to his doubts of Santa’s legitimacy. He hears a loud whistle and looks out his window to see a train in the middle of his street. The boy rushes outside to be greeted by a conductor exclaiming the destination of The Polar Express train. This is the start of his long journey to the North Pole. Along the way the train goes through mountains, and across icy lakes. He makes friends with all of the other children dressed in pajamas just waiting to see Santa. When they arrive at the North Pole elves fill the snowy town, and Santa himself awards him the first gift of Christmas. They journey back home aboard The Polar Express, and the he returns to his bed to sleep. Christmas morning he remembers his trip the night before to the North Pole, and never again doubts Santa’s existence. Allsburg’s story is clearly defined through both the text and illustrations. The text and images go hand in hand to portray a wonderful Holiday story for children. It’s an adventurous journey that children would love to be a part of.
