Books to Adopt

The Polar Express (1986)

by Chris Van Allsburg Return to list Adopt this book

The Polar Express is a magical tale about a boy who travels to the North Pole and is given a special bell from Santa Claus—a bell that rings for “all who truly believe”. This fully illustrated, classic title makes a great Christmas gift for children of all ages.

I use the British Library often for research, but I LOVE adopting books as gifts for people. My most recent adoption was in honor of my English professor in college. I am not just a literary scholar because of her influence--I am also a better human being.

My daughter and I both love the ambiance of the British Library and feel proud to be Readers. Supporting the Adopt a Book scheme is the least I can do.
