timeless! - By: S. Dunne, 25 Nov 2006 
I was read this bookin 1987 when i wasin primary school & loved it. I have just bought it for my 10 year old daughter & re read it. Its amazing that it hasn't dated after all these years. My daughter loved the book & I am going to read it to my 6 year old. "super fudge" is another excellent read from this brilliant author.
The Wow Factor - By: , 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 & up, but the 7yr olds have to be fairly confident readers.
Funny for both adults and children alike - By: L. Reynolds, 28 Dec 2002 I remember first being read this book when I was 8 &in Primary School. We had a "progressive" teacher, & this is what she selected for class reading. I'm nowin my 20's & still find that the tales of Peter & his brother, Fudge, can make me laugh.
It's an excellent book to read to children.
A MUST read for children & adults - By: , 17 Jan 2002 'Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing' was the first book I read by Judy Blume.And as fans of her writing know,she writesin 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 itin my third grade class when I wasin 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 outin 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.
A fantastic, exciting book. - By: , 02 Sep 2001 Another execellent book by Judy Blume. About Peter Hatcher & his brother from hell Farley Drexel Hatcher otherwise known as FUDGE! First came the birthday bash.Fudge was turning three. Three wierd friends were invited, Ralph who was just fat & ate loads,Jennie who bit people & Sam who was a scared of everything & cried all the time.Of course Peter had to help out.When the party was over, Peter thought it was over, but it wasn't.Peter had to go out to lunch with Fudge. Fudge was awful he tipped peas over his head & other things. One day Peter won a turtleat his best friends party...
