Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Passed on from babysitters to their young charges, from big sisters to little brothers and from parents to children, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and its cousins (Superfudge, Fudge-a-mania, and Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great) have entertained children since they first appeared in the early 1970s. The books follow Peter Hatcher, his little brother Fudgie, baby sister Tootsie, their neighbour Sheila Tubman, and various pets and minor characters through New York City and on treks to suburbs and camps.

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is the first of these entertaining yarns. Peter, because he's the oldest, must deal with Fudgie's disgusting cuteness, his constant meddling with Peter's stuff, and other grave offences, one of which is almost too much to bear. All these incidents are presented with the unfailing ear and big-hearted humour of the masterful Judy Blume. Though some of her books for older kids have aroused controversy, the Hatcher brothers and their adventures remain above the fray, where they belong. (Peter's in fourth grade, so the book is suitable for children ages 8 and older.) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Peter thinks he has the world's biggest problem - his little brother Fudge. Fudge causes trouble wherever he goes and it's usually up to Peter to sort out the mess. When Peter wins a tiny green turtle called Dribble he's determined to keep it away from his brother. But when Fudge does get his hands on Dribble - disaster strikes! New cover edition of this hugely successful, hilarious series.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wow Factor, 14 Sep 2004
This book is about a boy with a brother called Fudge. Fudge is a very annoying little brother. Everything starts to go wrong, especially when Sheila babysits.

I recommend this book to people who enjoy a very interesting story with quite a few funny problems. On a scale of 1-10 I'd definitely give it 10.

This is suitable for ages 7 and up, but the 7yr olds have to be fairly confident readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST read for children & adults, 17 Jan 2002
By A Customer
'Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing' was the first book I read by Judy Blume.And as fans of her writing know,she writes in a way that kids can understand very easily.As fans also know,her characters she creates are very realistic & kids reading her books can relate to the characters.Adults can read her characters & think back to the days when they felt the same way as her characters.And this book is wonderful.I first discovered it in my third grade class when I was in America.I wanted to know why almost my whole class wanted to read this.When I got my hands on the book,I discovered why it was so popular.Peter Hatcher is your basic kid with kid problems.He has an annoying little brother.The style of writing though is perfect!You cannot read this book & not laugh.I haven't read this book for a long,long time,but the incidents that stood out in my mind were:when Mr.Hatcher takes Fudge into the bathroom & pours cereal on his head(it's when Mr.Hatcher says 'Eat it or wear it!' & Fudge keeps repeating that(as most 2 year olds love repetition);when Fudge thinks he can fly & his two front teeth get knocked out & he says 'Want my teeth!';& when Fudge swallows Dribble the turtle.

What I like about the style of Judy's writing is this:she's written so many books with young people as her main characters yet the writing isn't immature.Her young characters behave the way kids really behave.Adults don't need to feel embarassed if they want to read this or any of her other books(I also recommend 'Deenie','Iggie's House','Blubber'.)Her books can give adults an insight into what kids are really like.It's been about 20 years since I first read TOAFGN & I'd love to read it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars timeless!, 25 Nov 2006
By S. Dunne (liverpool. uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was read this book in 1987 when i was in primary school and loved it. I have just bought it for my 10 year old daughter and re read it. Its amazing that it hasn't dated after all these years. My daughter loved the book and I am going to read it to my 6 year old. "super fudge" is another excellent read from this brilliant author.
