Bringing a Book to Life

Last Christmas we took our son and two of his cousins to the live experience of "The Polar Express."  The Rusk, Texas Railroad fixed the train up to look like that one in the Polar Express book.  Of course, we didn't walk on the top of the train but we did wear our jammies, drink hot chocolate and meet Santa.  Our boys really enjoyed the train ride and the telling of the story.  At the end of the train ride each child received a special coin like the coin in the book.  To this day, yes, we read Polar Express all year round, the boys still remember that train ride and the book, "Polar Express" came to life for us.  Have you had a book come to life for you?
