The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg*

A very well known book!
The narrator longs to believe in Santa and the North Pole.  On Christmas Eve a train stops at his house and transports him to the North Pole.  Here he is chosen to select the first gift of Christmas.  He chooses a bell from Santa's reindeer's harness.  Years later he still hears the ring but many others cannot hear its ring.
Strategy: inferring
*Highly recommend.
Guided Reading Level: N (beginning of third grade)
Grade Level Equivalency: 4.9
