Double Fudge
Double Fudge is one of the best books I've read all year. It was also the first book I read by Judy Blume. If you haven't read one of her book, this would be a good one to start with.

Double Fudge
I liked this book because it is so hilarious. In this book there are more than ten Characters and some of them are hilarious Characters. This story is all about Fudge, his family and his friends. In this story Fudge needs to learn a lot about money because he thinks that money grows on trees and he does not know that you have to work hard to get money. This book has a lot vocabulary for ESL students and a lot people who do not know some words. This book is good and you should read it.
THANK YOU for reading my review.

Fudge Mania
I think that Judy Blume was very clever in writing the Fudge books. My favorite book was 'Tales Of A Fourth Grade Nothing', when Fudge swallows Dribble, the turtle. I think it was cute how Peter got a puppy, which was much too big for Fudge to swallow!!

I have 'Fudge A Mania' at home, and I have read it at leat 1000000000000 times, it is SOOO good!

My favorite character is Fudge, then Peter, then Sheila, then Turtle. I like it in 'Fudge A Mania' when it says:
"Don't worry, Sheila, Turtle just had to wee - wee"!!

In the first book, I thoroughly enjoyed Peter's feelings when Fudge swallowed Dribble. Like he would care about his brother when he had swallowed his turtle. I kind of feel sorry for him though.

Love it!
I've used several of this author's novel studies and loved them. This one was particularly good, because my son also happened to love the Fudge Series. Awesome writing prompts, comprehension questions and activities. The other nice thing is that it required no extra work on my part. Great for homeschool families! ... Read more
