Book Reviews of Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing
Book Review: Great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a real funny book. It can make you laugh or very upset. It will stay with you forever. Peter, a nine year old boy has a three year old brother that causes him many problems. Fudge is a cute little boy, but he can be a little monster too. His parents love him and although they know he misbehaves, they excuse him because he is little and does not know what he is doing. Peter on the other hand is the good son and they are always looking up to him to take care of his little brother.
The writer does a very good job at describing how little kids this age feel when they have a sibling that gets all the attention and they get away with everything simply because they are small and dont know what they are doing.
Summary of Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing
It's problems, problems every minute of the day. Peter believes he has the biggest problem in the shape of his little brother Fudge. Nothing is safe around Fudge, unless its nailed to the floor.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 neighbor Sheila Tubman, 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 offenses, one of which is almost too much to bear. All these incidents are presented with the unfailing ear and big-hearted humor 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 kids ages 8 and older.)
