Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing
Listen to this summary, what do you notice? What have I included?
Peter Hatcher feels like a fourth grade nothing! His little brother, Fudge, is causing problems for him ALL THE TIME. Fudge seems to get away with his temper tantrums and always seems to take interest in Peter's things, especially his pet turtle! Peter is getting really tired of his brother Fudge, especially after the incident with Mr. & Mrs. Yarby. Fudge continues to take his turtle out to play with it, and Peter does NOT want his brother touching his pet anymore. What will happen between Peter and Fudge?
