The Polar Express

We read this as another audio book, this time with Liam Neeson narrating for us. This movie also fell flat when we tried to watch it a year or two ago. Not enough happening for a full-length movie? Maybe we just like Chris Van Allsburg's books more than his films.

Rachel was our designated page-turner for this audio book. There were no page-turn cues, but she did a great job following along.
Main character: The boy
Setting: The train
Here's what happened: The children whent (went) to the North pole.
My favorite part: When Santa gave him the bell










Audrey loves to play with our wooden train set, which we keep on a play table in our living room. She likes to take the tracks apart and assemble them over and over again like a giant puzzle.
Main character: The little boy
Setting: North Pole
What happened: Little boy went on the train; he was going to find Santa. He found Santa. Santa gave him a present.
My favorite part: When the train brought the boy home.
