I couldn't stop laughing through Ch 10 (the last chapter) so that was fun. I didn't remember really any details so it was basically like reading it for the first time. I do imagine, though, that as an older sibling to annoying younger siblings, that I really felt seen with Peter's story. Now, though, I obviously see the whole thing from a different light. I loved Fudge's shenanigans and feeling not alone in being the parent to a monster chaos machine.

Reading this aloud to the kids. Catherine has already read the entire series, but James hasn't. They absolutely love it! It is pretty funny with retro charm. Reminds me of Beverly Cleary and Ramona.

I read this when I was in elementary school in the 80s and thought my son would like it, so we read it together. He loved it! He thought Fudge was crazy! Hahaha

I enjoyed this light hearted story of two siblings. The author does a great job creating the character Fudge so you can't help but have a reaction to his shenanigans. Do I dare say even dislike him immensely? This was my first time reading this classic tale and I am looking forward to the whole set of Fudge books.

THIS SERIES WAS MY CHILDHOOD but I'm looking back and reminiscing, it was like the weirdest book but I had it on tape and me and my siblings would listen to it and oh my gosh allll the feeeels looking back at the books I read as a child.

My sister was a fan of the Fudge books, so I was a fan of the fudge books.
Eventually I realized my sister was Peter and I was Fudge.
The Super Fudge books were always my favorite Blume books

Great book! Judy Blume is da BOMB!!! Peter is just like me! I saw the play for this book and the book is soooooo much better. Must read this and the rest of the series! Fudge-a-mania; Super Fudge; and i forget the others. ;)
