Illustrated by
Rosie Reeve.
On a trip to the library, book-loving Delilah explains how things are different in the faraway (make-believe) land she rules. There the library offers free cupcakes, and a trapeze helps patrons reach too-high books. The wordy text is accompanied by pink- and purple-heavy colored-pencil, ink, and collage illustrations. Delilah's antics get a bit wearying, but her observations are imaginative.
