What was the story about?
Things are going fine for Peter, right up until his mom has a baby boy. Now that Fudge is older, he messes up just about everything. If you were Peter, you'd think it was a nightmare come true! First, Peter's dad is trying to sell some juice to a businessman and Fudge decorates not only the man's briefcase with stamps, but himself as well. The businessman doesn't buy the juice, and thinks badly of Peter's family. Next Peter has to do a project for school and Fudge writes all over it and messes it up when the project is almost done. Pretty soon, Peter regrets wanting to have a little brother. Then Fudge is asked to be in a commercial, but when he gets to the studio he just sits down, not wanting to take part in it. A couple weeks later, Peter gets invited to a birthday party where he wins a pet turtle. One day, Peter can't find the turtle, so he asks Fudge " Where did you put my turtle?" Fudge gives a strange reply back and gets into a lot more trouble.
Did you enjoy the book?
Yes, I did enjoy this book because it was full of humorous things and Fudge made me laugh a lot from the things he did.
