by Judy Blume

Retell

This story is about a nine year old boy named Peter and his little brother named Fudge who is four. One day Peter wins a turtle at his friend's birthday party and he names it Dribble. Fudge loves Dribble and loves to play with him even though he knows that he is not suppose to. One day Peter comes home from school, only to discover that Dribble is missing. He soon finds out that his brother, Fudge, has swallowed Dribble. What will happen to Fudge? Will he be alright? And how do you think Peter will react to this? You have to read the book to find out.

What Got Me Interested

I became interested in this book because I heard a book talk in one of my previous classes by someone and it sounded really interesting. I went out and bought one in that series and I really liked it so I read two other books in the same series, "Double Fudge" and "Super Fudge", and now "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing". I am really enjoying reading this series of books by Judy Blume.

Recommendation

I recommend "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" to everyone because they would certainly enjoy it. The book has so many aspects to it such as humour and wit. If the reader does not have a younger brother, this book certainly goes a long way to explaining what it is like having a little brother.
