An audiobook edition of The Polar Express narrated by Liam Neeson. The perfect book for all those—of any age—who believe, come Christmas Eve, that they too will hear the sweet sound of a reindeer’s silver bell.

A young boy, lying awake one Christmas Eve, is welcomed aboard a magical train to the North Pole . . .

Through dark forests, over tall mountains, and across a barren desert of ice, the Polar Express makes its way to the huge city standing alone at the top of the world, where the boy will make his Christmas wish.

For millions of readers around the world, this mysterious journey to the North Pole has become a beloved Christmas classic.

The Polar Express is a Caldecott Medal winner, and reading the story together is a beloved holiday tradition held by generations of families. It has also become a favorite holiday movie and been translated into stage productions that take place across the United States during the holiday season.

This book is a favorite in our home, but whenever I read it aloud I always think to myself “this is a terribly written book.” It’s awkward to read aloud and doesn’t flow very well in general. But Liam Nissan does a phenomenal job of making everything flow smoothly and he brings life to each character. This audiobook gave new life to the story, in my opinion, and has become an instant favorite for everyone in my home - including myself. It is a must buy for sure!

Excellent narration of an old classic
