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.
