How will Peter ever survive if his new sibling is a carbon copy of Fudge? But as Fudge fans also know, bad news for Peter generally means good news for Judy Blumes readers-in the form of a very funny story. And it also looks as if Fudge will no longer be the baby of the family. It looks as if Peter will be spending the sixth grade far from Central Park, Sheila Tubman, Jimmy Fargo, and Henry the doorman. He is far from overjoyed at the turn the family fortunes are taking. As fans of Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing already know, nothing is simple for Peter Hatcher. And, according to his older brother Peter, the biggest pain ever invented. Hes Superfudge, otherwise known as Farley Drexel Hatcher. Hes never heard of a stork, but he plans to be a bird when he grows up. Book Synopsis He knows a lot of big words, but he doesnt know where babies come from. dealing with the kinks and knots of modern family life.-The New York Times Book Review. Now theres a new baby on the way, and his family is moving to Princeton for a year. His younger brother, Fudge, is bad enough.

There should be a warning for parents of kids who do not want the idea of Santa being questioned.About the Book Nothing is simple for 12-year-old Peter. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Judy Blume? I will be sure to read reviews of Judy Blume books before having my kids read them to ensure there are no inappropriate topics. I was very surprised having the topic of Santa in this book. Has Superfudge turned you off from other books in this genre? I never thought Judy Blume would be the one to open my kids to the idea that Santa is not real. Bad idea.she confirms that Santa doesn't exist by having Peter's brother (a Kindergartener) say, of course he knows Santa doesn't exist, he just keeps the game going so he parents think he believes. But it's Judy Blume, right? I was so sure Judy was going to clear this up by the end of the book that we all continued listening.

Why but why does Judy Blume dedicate a portion of this book to Peter (main character and older sibling) telling our children that Santa does not exist.that parents buy the gifts.that parents find places to hide the gifts.

We listen to the audio books as a family in the car. What did you like best about Superfudge? What did you like least?Īnother classic Judy Blume book.
