Classic submitted by emjane on July 22, 2012, 6:23pm The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg is a classic, and a perfect one to read on Christmas Eve. The book’s beautiful wintery illustrations won a Caldecott medal, and its story is compelling enough to make anyone believe in Santa—even if just for a minute. What kid didn’t want to be the protagonist and get taken by train to the North Pole?
