Judy Blume
160 books12k followersJudy Blume spent her childhood in Elizabeth, New Jersey, making up stories inside her head. She has spent her adult years in many places doing the same thing, only now she writes her stories down on paper. Adults as well as children will recognize such Blume titles as: Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret; Blubber; Just as Long as We're Together; and the five book series about the irrepressible Fudge. She has also written three novels for adults, Summer Sisters; Smart Women; and Wifey, all of them New York Times bestsellers. More than 80 million copies of her books have been sold, and her work has been translated into thirty-one languages. She receives thousands of letters a year from readers of all ages who share their feelings and concerns with her.

Judy is a longtime advocate of intellectual freedom. Finding herself at the center of an organized book banning campaign in the 1980's she began to reach out to other writers, as well as teachers and librarians, who were under fire.

The smol child in this is very annoying, but i adored these books, as they got 9yo me through lockdown (along with pjo and kingdom keepers, still read those tho)
It very much gives “hey arnold” or something similar.
Also, love that the old people get married, good end to the series
Rated off of enjoyment, not critical, idc
I’m getting rid of the box set, but hope to give them to someone i know will take care of them :3

Read with Peter after he had listened to it. The first one is still by far my favorite- tales of a fourth grade nothing
Where very funny and relatable things happen. The rest of the books do have some funny stories but it is greatly overshadowed by just the lack of over all love between the siblings and Peter is just so darn rude sometimes in his thought. Of course siblings can fight and have thoughts of wanting to not have siblings BUT then usually there is remorse and brought back to love… here we are left with this feeling that no one likes each other.

February 16, 2016I love Peter and Fudge! I remember having Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing read to me in school as a 2nd or 3rd grader, and I have shared them with my kids. Of course, I had to explain things like the green stamps and I pointed out that there is no way Peter would ever be allowed to "be in charge" of Fudge in Central Park in current days, but it's still a great story with a great message to kids.

We don't encourage our kids to read enough of the oldies but goodies. So many times we move them on to modern trends that are far past their maturity levels. I loved these books. My fourth graders loved these books and couldn't stop reading them this year. Funny!
