Peter dislikes his life and thinks about running away from home. His mother, Anne, is pregnant, and Fudge annoys him to no end. Peter worries that the baby will be like a carbon copy of Fudge, but when Anne gives birth to a girl they name Tamara Roxanne, who soon comes to be called "Tootsie," he finds that his fears are unfounded. Fudge, however, becomes jealous of all the attention Tootsie is getting and acts out.

I would recommend this book to a friend because it express how we all felt at a young age. We can learn how we can deal with out problems. Parents can also read this book to get a better understanding of how their child feel.
