The Secret World of Delia and Mingli is a beautifully written story about a seven-year-old girl called Cordelia, Delia for short and her new soft toy Mingli the elephant who is a magical soft toy. They find themselves on a magical adventure to conquer Delia’s nightmares.
The cover for this book is so beautiful, it pulled me towards it straight away, that was even before I knew what it was about.
I really enjoyed reading this book with my little boy, the illustrations throughout the book bought it to life and loved pointing out what was happening in the scenes illustrated.
It was a lovely bedtime story to read together and I am sure we will continue to read it for a long while.
