Will Peter Hatcher survive 4th Grade with Fudge messing up his life? Read "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" to find out.
I like this book because it makes me laugh. The part that makes me laugh is when Fudge loses his two front teeth and cuts of his hair. I also like this book because there's a surprise on every page. It is a story of a normal family. It has problems. It has fun times just like my family. I just love the book.
If you like very funny stories and especially if you have a younger brother or sister, I recommend this book to you. You will love it. If you like this book a lot, there are about four more books in this series. It will keep you laughing reading about the trouble Fudge causes.
