Jennifer's Diary (Antelope Books) - Hardcover
Jennifer has a diary and Iolanthe doesn't. But Iolanthe does have a vivid imagination and a gift for writing stories. When she sees empty pages in Jennifer's diary, she can't help herself - they're clearly waiting for tales much more exciting than her friend's records of shop visits and weather. Iolanthe is so taken with the diary that soon sharing it is not enough and, eventually, she finds something to swop with Jennifer for it - extra stories to be available to order whenever Jennifer needs them.

From AudioFile:
Sophie Ward's delightful reading brings to life these two short chapter books by British Children's Laureate Anne Fine. In JENNIFER'S DIARY, overimaginative Lolanthe decides she simply must have her classmate's diary. In THE WORST CHILD I EVER HAD, babysitter Mrs. Mackle shares a hair-raising story about her former charge, Susan Solly. Ward's reading is exuberant but never over-the-top as it urges the young listener to laugh out loud. Briticisms such as "knickers" and "frock" are delivered in context and won't trip up young listeners. Wonderful from beginning to end.
