Mark Roy bliss_design — Winner of the Caldecott Medal and a New York Times Best Illustrated Book, The Polar Express is a charming story of a young boy’s adventure on Christmas Eve. Van Allsburg uses detailed illustrations and expressive language to bring this book to life. While waiting anxiously to hear Santa’s sleigh bells, a boy is surprised when a train arrives at his front door the night before Christmas. With the conductor as his guide and other children as passengers, the boy takes The Polar Express to the North Pole where he is greeted by Santa. The excited boy is chosen to receive the first gift of Christmas and one of Santa’s silver sleigh bells becomes his gift. On Christmas morning he is surprised to find the bell under the tree, after believing it was lost after falling out of his pocket. Only he and his sister can hear the bell ringing, because they believe in Santa; and the boy continues to hear the bell and feel the magic of Christmas long after he is grown. The Polar Express is a beautiful book and a classic Christmas story. Van Allsburg adds to the story by describing the emotions of the boy as he tells his story in first-person point of view. The author creates a picture of the boy’s experiences by writing, “From outside came the sounds of hissing steam and squeaking metal. I looked through my window and saw a train standing perfectly still in front of my house.” The lines “His teamed charged forward and climbed into the air” and “Santa circled once above us, then disappeared in the cold, dark polar sky” are examples of the high-quality text that accompanies the story’s amazing illustrations. Van Allsburg filled the pages of this book with oil paintings in warm colors and muted colors with light playing an additional role in the story’s artwork. Because the story takes place entirely at night, shadows, twinkling lights in building windows, and stars on the horizon bring depth to each page. A popular book and future motion picture, The Polar Express is a well-written and skillfully illustrated story that has become a staple in collections of holiday literature. Young children and adults alike will enjoy this wonderful winter story, which is just one of Van Allsburg’s excellent works.
