Delilah D. At the Library

By Jeanne Willis

Book Overview

A determined (not to say willful) child, Delilah tells everyone she's the queen of a faraway land where she makes all the rules. When she goes to the library, however, Library Anne is there with her own rules: no climbing, no running, no singing, and above all, no cupcakes. But in the libraries in her land, Delilah says, running and climbing are allowed, and cupcakes and doughnuts are provided. Clearly, Library Anne doesn't know the first thing about how to run a library! When this lively battle of wills has run its course, Library Anne is dreaming about becoming an astronaut--and Delilah D. has a library book to take home. In her land, of course, everyone reads upside down. With bright, comical illustrations, including open-out gatefold pages, this extra-big picture book will captivate any child who has ever considered breaking the rules.

Customer Reviews

Darling, funny book!

This is a charming, wittty book - my husband and I love reading it as much as our daughter loves us to read it to her! FUNNY! And smart. Wish there were a whole series about Delilah D!

love it

Delilah is a little girl with a big imagination. She likes to pretend that she is from a far away land. Too bad the adults in her life won't play her game. She goes to the library and has to learn all the rules. She claims that the rules are very different where she comes from! The cover drew us in. The little girl is sitting at the library on the floor looking at a book with her shoes off! What's not to love! It would make a great story time tale to go over some library rules with young patrons!
