Lucy Fleming.
River Rose accidentally falls asleep on Christmas Eve while waiting to hand-deliver her letter to Santa. She wakes, and the three balloons (from River Rose and the Magical Lullaby) take her to the North Pole. Though the rhyming cadence occasionally stumbles, the story and colorful illustrations offer plenty of holiday cheer. A link to the elves' Christmas song (sung by Clarkson) didn't work.
