Description

Rediscover the spirit of Christmas with this fun-packed gift set, including a mini hardback of the Christmas classic, the magic sleighbell from the story, a write-your-own letter to Santa, and your very own golden Polar Express ticket! Will you be able to hear the bell ring Late on Christmas Eve, after the town has gone to sleep, a boy boards a mysterious train that waits for him: the Polar Express bound for the North Pole. When he arrives there, Santa offers him any gift he desires. The boy modestly asks for one bell from the reindeer's harness. It turns out to be a very special gift, for only believers in Santa can hear it ring. 'Magical glowing double spread pictures... an original and memorable book.' Guardian
