Story Summary:

Fudge is a two-year-old terror who is frequently embarrassing nine-year-old Peter and destroying his things. Peter feels that his parents allow Fudge to get away with many things and he feels that they give him more attention. He is very discouraged with his situation and often feels like a fourth grade nothing. The day that Fudge walks off with Dribble, Peter's pet turtle is the last straw. Many children will readily understand Peter's difficulties with Fudge.
