This is a classic book that I knew my grandchildren would enjoy years from now.Even with the shipping cost, it was so much more reasonable to purchase it on ebay.
I think it's a classic movie. I wanted to have in my library to have an annual Christmas activity with my grandchildren. My plan is to decorate the tree, pop some popcorn, brew some hot chocolate and watch the movie.
I was disappointed that the movie did not get here until late on Christmas Eve. It was supposed to have arrived by Dec. 22nd.
I love this gift package because it is a very thoughtful, yet easily purchased item. It can start a tradition for some families who decide to read it every year on christmas eve.
Great story for adults and children. Used it in my preschool and we did a pajama party, and had hot cocoa, etc. I gave each of the children a bell and it was wonderful!
I bought this book, cassette, cd, and bell for my grandson this year. He is 3 yrs. old, so the perfect age to start a tradition of sharing this with each other for the holiday. We watched the movie together, and I gave him the bell. We snuggled up and read the book, and looked at the beautiful pictures. The cd or cassette is a great addition for him to listen to and look at the book.
We love the book! We are taking our kids on the Polar Express Train ride for Christmas, and reading the book with the kids on the train ride is part of the expereience. The pictures and the story are wonderful- We love listening to the story in the van while we are riding.
I loved this set. It came with everything you could want, the book, the book on tape and CD, and my favorite part, the Christmas bell! I was just looking for the book but when I came across this set-I couldn't resist! It is such a great gift idea too!
