Any fourth grader would agree that Peter Hatcher has aterrible problem—his little brother, Fudge. But the grown-ups in his life just can't see that there is something wrong with a two year-old who breaks his front teeth trying to fly, decides that he is a dog, goes on a no-eat strike, and scribbles all over his brother's homework.
Peter is always asked to perform so that Fudge will be less of a terror: like standing on his head so that Fudge will laugh; opening his mouth for his mother to pop food into; or convincing Fudge that pedaling a Toddle-Bike is fun, so that he will ride for a TV commercial.
But, Peter feels unappreciated and he is finding his brother harder and harder to take. When Fudge gets at his pet turtle, Dribble, that is the living end. What happens next, and how Peter's parents save the day, make for a mixture of hilarity and a little more understanding on everyone's part.
"Children will love it, expecially if they...
