Grammy-winning pop star and American Idol winner Clarkson makes her children-s book debut with a by-the-numbers story about a girl-s magical trip to the zoo. The night before her first-ever zoo visit, River Rose (named after and inspired by Clarkson-s daughter) has trouble settling down for bedtime until her mother sings her a lullaby. In the middle of the night, River Rose discovers a cluster of magical balloons outside her bedroom window; they whisk her to a zoo where she meets and romps around with a variety of animals (-She turned on all the lights and sang, -There-s so much I want to see./ Lions, tiger, bears, oh my!... Let-s have a zoo party!---) before returning home. Uneven rhythms and somewhat forced rhymes don-t do much to distinguish Clarkson-s verse, but Hughes-s mixed-media artwork, featuring wispy pencil lines and exuberant scenes of animals at play, contributes to the festive mood of River Rose-s journey. A downloadable version of Clarkson-s lullaby will be made available online. Ages 4-8. Author-s agency: CAA. Illustrator-s agency: Bright Agency. (Oct.)

River Rose landed down in the center of the zoo.

when River Rose jumped up and said, "We've come to play with you!"
