An extraordinary fictional diary by a great picture book artist.

There are seven different diaries in Dear Diary, each telling the events of one busy day from a different point of view.

The first is straightforward enough; it is the account of a young girl called Lucy.

She tells of her day at school, taking her dog Bubu for a walk in the park and her parents' party in the evening.

The second diary is a little more curious - it is the journal of a chair overturned in the classroom.

Next is Spider's Diary, followed by Firefly's Diary, Knife and Fork's Diary, Bubu's Diary and Ladybird's Diary.

The book ends with a PS from Lucy. It was "a good day," she concludes - and this book will surely receive a similar accolade from readers - young and old.
