The Polar Express is not only a book, it is now a movie as well. The book was written by Chris Van Allsburg. Van Allsburg got interested in art when he went of study law at The University of Michigan. After doing some black-and-white art work his wife felt they were darn good. So good that she took them to a children's book editor in Boston. Thus, Van Allsburg began to write children's books.Chris Van Allsburg is a unique writer due to the fact that he does not write as most writers do. His method of writing is to ask and answer the "What if?' question. What if a boy woke up one night and found a steam train in his lining? What would he do?, Van Allsburg asked himself. This began the making of an unforgettable story of believing and imagination for all ages. The website below will take you to Chris Van Allsburg's main website where you will see his book list, games, biography, and much more.
