Peter is a 9 year old boy and Fudge is his 2 year old little brother. Fudge is a pain and is always causing trouble because he wants to act like Peter. It starts off when Peter wins a turtle at a friend’s birthday party and Fudge wants to hold and play with the turtle thought the book. Fudge is always finding trouble, like refusing to eat and the only way he will eat is by pretending to be a dog at the dinner table. Peter finally has had enough when Fudge swallows Peter's turtle and has to go to the hospital. This leaves Peter to feel as though no one cares about the loss of his turtle and everyone is always worried about Fudge. To make Peter feel better about losing his turtle, his parents buy him a dog that is only his, and Fudge cannot swallow it.

Use in Classroom
This is a very good book to read for AR. It is on the student’s level and is very simple to understand. It is also a book that the teacher can read aloud to her class. I loved when my teacher read a chapter a day in a book. It was just a time that we didn’t have to do any work and just listen. At the end of each chapter you can have the students write about how they would deal with each situation.
