1.0 out of 5 stars Polar Express "De-railed", December 14, 2004

What a disappointment in the book. It's about the size of a CD case, the bell is a cheap $0.10 metal bell like you would put on your cat's collar and I can't believe I spent $30.00. Do not buy the book. Just get the CD!

This review is from: The Polar Express (Deluxe Edition) (Illustrated Board Book & CD) (Audio CD)

I was shocked that a $34.98 book/cd was so small and has only nine paperboard type pages of art work. The "silver bell" in this package (as in another book set and the Lionel train set that I bought) is a cheap metal chrome plated bell and in no way resembles the beautiful bell illustrated in the books and movie. Surely someone will make an exact replica before next season.
The book should be priced at no more than $18 - a typical top line CD. Of course the music is fine....but consider buying the music CD only....for a lot less money! Better, wait for a clsoe out sale on this item!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed - "Deluxe Edition" Polar Express!!, December 13, 2004

This review is from: The Polar Express (Deluxe Edition) (Illustrated Board Book & CD) (Audio CD)

I did't find this edition of Polar Express very "deluxe"! The book itself measures only about 3 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches. I "assumed", which is always a mistake, that the board book would be similar in size to the hard cover edition. I think $32.00 is a very exorbitant price for this package. I'm very disappointed, but not willing to spend the shipping costs to send it back. I would not advise you to make this purchase.
