River Rose and the Magical Lullaby

32 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | October, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-242756-4 $18.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Laura Hughes. River Rose, a little girl giddy about a pending zoo trip, takes a magical trip there in the middle of the night. After reveling with the animals, she sings the polar bears to sleep with her mother's lullaby. The festive mood and premise are hindered by uneven rhymes and an unclear resolution; energetic ink, paint, and collage illustrations add appeal. A downloadable song by Clarkson is available.
