Living 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 scribbling all over Peter's homework, he's never far from trouble. He's a two-year-old terror who gets away with everything, and Peter's had enough.

When Fudge walks off with Dribble, Peter's pet turtle, it's the last straw. Peter has put up with Fudge for too long. How can he get his parents to pay attention to him for a change?

Critic reviews

"It should be true that the author is the best narrator of his/her own work, and Blume more than fulfills this expectation. In a children's title, it's especially grand if the reader can capture all of the bratty, sweet, and simple nuances of the little characters. Blume is great as the parents, pretentious boss, and older brother, and she outdoes herself with two-year-old Fudge. She throws the perfect temper tantrum and cajoles adults with the best of them. All listeners, regardless of age, can identify with the exasperation of the older child who's often called upon to parent." (AudioFile)

Featured Article: On the Enduring Legacy of Judy Blume


Judy Blume's middle grade and young adult novels have helped raise generations of kids, reshaping the literary landscape for young listeners. Since the 1970s, Blume's writing has contributed to destigmatizing taboo topics like puberty, teen sexuality, masturbation, menstruation, bullying, disability, and more. And now, rather than her books being deemed outdated or no longer relevant to today's kids, we're experiencing a "Blume-aissance."

Great family audiobook

What better way to listen to the antics of Fudgie than to hear the author read it herself!! My best school memory is hearing Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing read aloud in class. Love this book!

One of my favorites of all time!!

The story was great, and odd, and somewhat relatable. I enjoyed reading it and I read it three times because I liked it that much. The narrator’s voice sounded... interesting. Like the sound a pillow makes when you hit it. It’s was kind of breathy and slow. I don’t know why I’m including this in the review, I just felt like saying it 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s quite an interesting book

I was SUCH a Judy Blume fan when I was younger. I think I read just about every J. Blume book, but the Superfudge series was by far my favorite! I loved these so much I turned both my daughter and niece on to these silly stories and made little readers out of them, they loved them all, especially Fudge & Freckle Juice! I'd recommend this series and just about anything Judy Blume to any young reader. You won't regret it, young ones, you'll enjoy the crazy adventures of Peter Hatcher & his silly brother Fudge!

Tales of a fourth grade nothing is a classic. I don't care that it's not "Realistic" and that I couldn't "Relate to it", because it is a funny, lighthearted story. Except.... (spoiler alert) The part where Fudge somehow managed to swallow Peter's turtle, Dribble, although the parents got Peter a dog afterwards, it did not seem like they felt very bad that he lost his pet turtle. But otherwise great!! Funny and lighthearted story.

AMAZING!!
