Why read it?
2 authors picked Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because of its emphasis on the growing pains (and love) of family. I enjoy the aspect of this story providing laughs, tears, and anger, and being able to identify with the situations throughout. I love the characters finding their way in navigating on a micro level (family) and a macro one (the world). I love the bonds between siblings, where kindness shines through despite misgivings they may have.
From Jason's list on middle grade YA books on the struggles of change.
Judy Blume’s books have an almost magical quality in my memory – they are some of my first and fondest reading recollections.
In this book, the interplay between Peter and his little brother Fudge is relatable and just hilarious. Similar to the younger brother Little in my own book, Fudge gets away with everything, to Peter’s chagrin. I hadn’t thought about it consciously when I was writing my own book, but now I realize that perhaps this book was influencing me all along. A classic!
