Last week I got an amazing surprise package in the mail. Kelly Clarkson (yes, THE Kelly Clarkson) sent me a couple of autographed copies of her new book, River Rose and the Magical Lullaby. But that’s not all! We also got two of her plush singing River Rose dolls and a personal note – yup, a personal note. She told me that she has visited my website (eek!) and told me that she loves my Fun Gift Guides. I was thrilled when I opened it and could barely wait to surprise my two young daughters. We love to read together so they were really excited about a new book – and of course the singing doll to go with it.
We read River Rose and the Magical Lullaby almost right away and we all loved it. Both of my girls then asked me to read it again, and again, and again. It has become one of our favorite stories! When we get to the part in the story with the lullaby, we press the hand on one of the dolls and sing along with her. I think the story itself is great and teaches kids to dream big! My 3 year old has quickly fallen in love with River Rose and carries her new doll with her everywhere. Before bed each night, she requires that we let her sing her a lullaby.
