"As a kid, Judy Blume was my favorite author, and Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing was my favorite book."—Jeff Kinney, author of the bestselling Wimpy Kid series

“Each [Fudge book] is packed with wacky earthy disasters that are her trademark and that children love to read about . . . Judy Blume has a knack for knowing what children think about and an honest, highly amusing way of writing about it.”—The New York Times

Two is a crowd when Peter and his little brother, Fudge, are in the same room. Grown-ups think Fudge is absolutely adorable, but Peter and his pet turtle, Dribble, know the truth. From throwing temper tantrums to smearing mashed potatoes on the wall, Fudge causes mischief wherever he goes!

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.
