My Review
The Secret Word of Delia and Mingli is a delightful children's book about a little girl whose stuffed elephant comes to life and helps her overcome her nightmares by taking her to a magical place known as Imagine Nation.
After her parents take her on a trip to China, Delia is lonely and anxious, and those feelings manifest as nightmares. But the stuffed elephant she got from the airport gift shop comes to life and takes her on a journey to overcome her fears.
From monsters to witches, dragons, and even a bull, Delia will have to figure out the best way to conquer them so she can meet the king and queen of Imagine Nation and get back home.
I thought this was a fun little read. It's something that will delight boys and girls of all ages. The recommended age range is 5-8, although I do think younger readers may need assistance from their parents while reading this, mainly due to a few "bigger" words that may be outside their vocabulary at the moment.
If you're looking for a magical, whimsical story, check out The Secret World of Delia and Mingli.
4 stars!
