Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing (Fudge, #1)

by Judy Blume

Living with his little brother, Fudge, makes Peter Hatcher feel like a fourth grade nothing.
Whether Fudge is throwing a temper tantrum in a shoe store, smearing smashed potatoes on walls at Hamburger Heaven, or scribbling all over Peter's homework, he's never far from trouble. He's a two-year-old terror who gets away with everything—and Peter's had enough.

When Fudge walks off with Dribble, Peter's pet turtle, it's the last straw. Peter has put up with Fudge too long. How can he get his parents to pay attention to him for a change?

Reviews

[MurderByDeath]

Someone here on BookLikes mentioned Judy Blume and SuperFudge on their post the other day and I've just spent 20 minutes trying to find them and I can't.  To that person:  thank you!  I realised reading it that I needed some Judy Blume in my life right now.   I never liked this one as much as Superfudge (which I started last night) because of Dribble.  Even as a kid I was NOT happy with Dribble's fate.  Still, it's a great book and what was funny as a kid is still funny, but frighteningly not: I know kids like Fudge; he's not the exaggeration I always thought he was.   This book is still relevant and great for all kids but the oldest of the family will find it particularly relatable.
