I’ve just read this aloud to my eight-year-old son. It’s the first in a series (warning: “Superfudge”, which is book two, reveals that Father Christmas/Santa does not exist!), and is set in early 1970s New York.
Peter, the fourth grade nothing, is beyond exasperated with his three-year-old brother Fudge. Whenever Fudge acts up, he is called on to help, to cajole, or even to take the blame. My son found Fudge’s antics very funny – there was a description of a birthday party filled with equally Fudge-like toddlers that he particularly enjoyed – but he also empathised with Peter, having a naughty little brother of his own.
Judy Blume’s streak of psychological realism runs through this, even under a lively children’s story for 8+ years. Peter regularly steps in to reflect that he is being treated unjustly in comparison to Fudge, because he is the “good son”, and not little and cute, and will stand on his head in the kitchen to encourage Fudge to eat, and not snap back when his mother blames him for Fudge falling off a climbing frame and knocking out his front teeth. Eventually though, Fudge’s naughtiness becomes focused on Peter’s pet turtle Dribble…. and that is going too far.

My son loved this book

Bought this book for my son and he couldn’t put it down! He hadn’t finished it yet before he was asking if there was a sequel to it! The book is great, but may have a few words that are a bit harder to pronounce. That, of course, will vary between child/individual. Overall, great book with interesting plot!

My brother and I are “Irish Twins”, so we were in the same grade throughout our whole school career. He got all of the awesome, tenured teachers, whose students loved them so much that they still continued to visit them well into their middle and high school years; their classrooms had epic decor themes like “under the sea” or “summer fun.”
I was a straggler kid, looking in from the outside and always longing for what he had. My assortment of teachers were either (a) fresh out of college and trying experimental forms of teaching (ugh), (b) had extreme chips on their shoulders and were organizing unions to stick it to the man, or (c) filing for divorce. This equated to bare walls and zero pizza parties. The agony!
Worst yet, we didn’t read any of the cool books all the other classes were reading! I remember getting sick and tired of hearing of this baby named “Fudge” (of all the crazy names), and all the trouble that he got into, from some friends in other classes.
So now, all these years later, I finally understand what all the hype was about, and for once it wasn’t overstated. I LOVED Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing! Peter Hatcher, the 9-year-old protagonist, has a pretty great setup. He lives in New York City, close to Central Park, he’s loving his 4th grade class, has nice friends…except his 2-year-old little brother, Fudge, keeps ruining things. He’s a the cutest little monster you ever saw.
I would have loved to have read this as a child, especially when my little sister came into the world when I was 8. I didn’t like her. She was a cutie, but she just disrupted everything. I felt like no one understood where I was coming from, least of all my parents, who could see no wrong in anything that she did. That’s the beauty of this book, because while it is hilarious and cute, it’s not patronizing and adult. I love the relationship Peter has with his mom–she’s a bit of a sarcastic wit, and I like that.
One thing that made me laugh was when Peter was describing how cautious he had to be about walking in Central Park alone because of muggers and dope pushers. I thought to myself, this is not the NYC of You’ve Got Mail. This is the NYC of Klute in 1972! I will definitely be continuing with the series, and very soon.

This is a great read for a fourth-grader. It is the first book in the “Fudge” series. I recommend it for kids who are reading at a fourth-grade level.
