Synopsis

'My name is Queen Delilah and I come from a land far, far away, really I do.' My mother says, 'Really you don't, darling.' But if Delilah did rule the world, what a fun place it would be! Except she would be the first to tell you that she's not naughty at all – you see, Delilah is a queen in her own country and the rules are quite different there! Her first adventure finds her in the library creating utter chaos, much to the despair of the librarian, Library Anne, but to the huge delight of everyone else!

Reviewer: ajs

This is a great book. Our 2 year old loves having it read to her, and even after reading it to her 50 plus times I still enjoy it. It is delightfully subversive. Delilah pretends that she is a queen from a far away land, and consequently wreaks havoc on her trip to the library accompanied by her old pear (au pair) and little brother (small boy). Everyone who walks into our house has also read it, and is enthralled with it. While we have many excellent children's books, this really is in a class of its own.
