Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing Review
User Submitted Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing ReviewsOctober 23, 2008 Our class loves this book!!!! Our class read this book together this year. We loved it!!! It is about a 4th grader named Peter and his annoying brother named Fudge. Peter wins a turtle named Dribble from his friend Jimmy Fargo's birthday party. Fudge is always getting into trouble. Fudge's birthday is a disaster! First, someone wets on the floor and bites the grandma. One child throws up and falls asleep. And another child never stops crying. What will Peter do about his little brother??? You'll have to read this funny book and find out for yourself!!! October 17, 2008 Great Book! My Fourth Grade daughter has book reports due every 2-3 weeks. I went online to find some books I remembered reading as a child to see if she would enjoy them as much. While reading this book, my daughter would laugh out loud and tell me things she was reading. She really enjoyed the humor and the content of the book. She is going to be a big sister herself in a few months so I think she found the stories of Fudge even funnier because of that. Her book report went off without a hitch and she was able to convince other children in her class that this is a great book to read. She's going to start Superfudge next! I would highly recommend this book and so would my daughter. October 11, 2008 5th grade nothing Well I love this book it has humor and lots and lots of laughs! BUT I don't like how Judy made Fudgie this amazing spoiled little boy. I MEAN COME ON HE EAT A TURTLE! September 22, 2008 Sibling Rivalry In Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing (Bantam, 1972), Judy Blume introduces Peter, an average fourth grader, living in an apartment in New York City with his parents; his little brother, Fudge; and his newly acquired turtle, Dribble. Three-year-old Fudge constantly creates drama in this otherwise quiet family, whether he is ruining his father's career or disrupting the family dinner. Fudge always seems to attract some type of attention from adults--whether for his cute face or his mischievous behavior. By comparison, Peter feels like a fourth grade nothing. It's not easy for Peter to love his little brother, who always seems to be the center of attention. As Fudge's trouble-making habits escalate, Peter's life is increasingly affected. Fudge destroys the school project that Peter and his friends labored over for weeks, and the toddler can't seem to keep away from Peter's beloved pet turtle. But when Fudge's actions bring on a family disaster, Peter learns that he is more than a fourth-grade nothing in the eyes of his family. Readers will identify with scenes from Peter's everyday family life. This book is for every kid who leads an ordinary existence, dealing with parents, siblings, homework, and know-it-alls. September 16, 2008 Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is a classic! Judy Blume's, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing (Puffin Books 1972), is a humorous tale of a nine-year-old boy named Peter and his younger brother, Fudge. Peter is consistently upset by three-year-old Fudge's antics, including disappearing at a movie theater while trying to touch the bears that appear on-screen and playing with Peter's turtle, Dribble without his permission. In addition to dealing with his annoying little brother, Peter must also hang out with Shelia, his nemesis from down the street. Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing is the first in the series of books about the Hatcher family. Blume's comedic scenes are not only naturally written, but they are believable as well. Fudge's apt for getting into trouble is sure to delight younger readers, while the tragic (albeit humorous) scene concerning Dribble will surely appeal to older readers of Blume's classic novel about a New York City family. September 12, 2008 Classic Book Peter's biggest problem is his little brother, Fudge. Adults think Fudge is cute and sweet, but Peter knows the truth! Fudge constantly messes with Peter's school projects, plays with his pet turtle, and embarrasses him in public. Their parents overlook Fudge's bad behaviors. In fact, to Peter is seems like he's constantly rewarded. Until, one day, Fudge goes too far and does something that Peter will never forgive him for. This middle grade novel is perfect for any child who has ever been annoyed by a little brother or sister. Blume expertly creates the sarcastic voice of an older brother under stress. The storyline flows smoothly, piling disaster on top of disaster until poor Peter meets his ultimate breaking point. Blume's classic, first published in 1972, will always remain popular due to its timeless themes of older sibling struggles. August 23, 2008 I love this book!
