Synopses & Reviews
Life with his little brother, Fudge, makes Peter Hatcher feel like a fourth grade nothing. Whether Fudge is throwing a temper tantrum in a shoe store, smearing mashed potatoes on the walls at Hamburger Heaven, or trying to fly, hes never far from trouble. Hes an almost three-year-old terror who gets away with everything, and Peters had it up to here!
When Fudge walks off with Dribble, Peters pet turtle, its the last straw. Peter has put up with Fudge for too long. Way too long! How can he get his parents to pay attention to him for a change?
