What a wonderful gift for someone special!  Share this autographed copy of The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg and then take an excursion on a historic steam train.

Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad:  Traveling through the verdant timbered forest a rider on the MRSR feels suspended in time. The plaintive wail of a vintage locomotive whistle sends a lonesome echo rolling against the hillsides as travelers relax to a pace of a bygone era. Passengers discover the train travel allows for a chance to visit, make friends and share an experience. They are reminded that once railroads linked our nation and its people together in a way that airplanes or automobiles never have.

Weekly excursion and tour trains depart beneath the snow white cap of Mount Rainier from the Museum and Restoration Shop in Mineral, WA. Pulled by vintage locomotives, passengers on the MRSR are charmed as they pass through forest and glen, next to clear mountain streams and over tall wooden trestles.

The Polar Express:  One couldn't select a more delightful and exciting premise for a children's book than the tale of a young boy lying awake on Christmas Eve only to have Santa Claus sweep by and take him on a trip with other children to the North Pole. And one couldn't ask for a more talented artist and writer to tell the story than Chris Van Allsburg. Allsburg, a sculptor who entered the genre nonchalantly when he created a children's book as a diversion from his sculpting, won the 1986 Caldecott Medal for this book, one of several award winners he's produced. The Polar Express rings with vitality and wonder.  This 25th Anniversary edition includes a keepsake ornament & bonus CD read by Liam Neeson and is autographed by Chris Van Allsburg.
