So well written, just love this book, Judy Blume rocks.
This book is well written and each chapter has a funny story in it.
The book is funny, well written and has memorable characters that are attractive to young readers.
I found the book meaningful, humorous, and well written
I hated the turtle died I liked the dog though and the story grade almost nothing about school so in the collision I liked every thing except the death of the
the appeal of the Blume Peter and Fudge books is the fact that Peter is fresh, calm, perceptive, intentionally and unintentionally funny, and not gimmicky.
And for some, even the bigger issue that Blume so openly and boldly chose to discuss: the declaration or even outright questioning of religion
I loved Judy Blume when I was a kid way back in the '70's.
and I've always loved Judy Blume as a child sooooo he will too.
I remember reading this as a child and was very happy my child enjoyed Judy Blume just as much.
Peter's parents are trying very hard to meet both of the boy's needs, but Fudge-as a strong-willed toddler- does kind of suck up most of their time and energy, while Peter spends a good deal of time being used to manage his brother; unfortunately, a rather normal dynamic for some families
Judy Blume is a great author, kids really relate to her stories
However, authors for this age group are often afraid to "go there" since parents and teachers will then object to the content.
Judy Blume was my favorite author as a child and my siblings and I were talking about our favorite books as children so we could share them with our children
Judy Blume creates a beautiful and captivating story for young teenage girls and sends a silent message telling them that whenever they felt slow T growing or weird, every other girl around her felt the exact same way
and I've always loved Judy Blume as a child sooooo he will too.
Judy Blume has often shocked the delicate sensibilities of stuffy parents worldwide with her straightforward tell-it-like-it-is young adult books containing sexual situations.
Judy Blume had an amazing opportunity with this book, and she missed it - - she should have told the truth
I loved Judy Blume when I was a kid way back in the '70's.
Also, it seems as though Judy Blume has tried to cram every single thing that happens in puberty in this book and it drags
Judy Blume was my favorite author as a child and my siblings and I were talking about our favorite books as children so we could share them with our children
My children, who are used to loving family relationships, were upset by the frequent humiliations and rejection the main character has to endure
and I was also a "good little Christian child", so why would I want to read a book where the character has to ask where God is
I was happy someone finally treated her like a normal person instead of a spoiled child
As good as this book is, objectively speaking in terms of execution and entertainment factor, perhaps we should ask whether realist fiction does not discourage children to rise above difficult states of affairs, spank the inner mopet and at last grow up.
I must have read it fifty times and each time was as great as the time before
I absolutely hated Nancy - - a know-it-all who really didn't know anything, who was a liar
Peter's parents are trying very hard to meet both of the boy's needs, but Fudge-as a strong-willed toddler- does kind of suck up most of their time and energy, while Peter spends a good deal of time being used to manage his brother; unfortunately, a rather normal dynamic for some families
week?Was she actually looking forward to the next period, now that she had actually experienced one?Was she actually looking forward to getting periods every couple of weeks for many years to come?Was the reality as wonderful as she imagined it to be?I hated this book, but this would have been a chapter that I would have loved to read
and I love that I can save money as well as, recycle and save paper.
This is a timeless classic for any young lady going thru these awkward tween years
Older readers will also find it appealing and an enjoyable short read that will remind them of those difficult, awkward years.

This book was an honest story about being a girl in those awkward pre-teen years.
I WON’T is a pretty good novel about a pubescent boy growing up in New York in the seventies

i really enjoyed the story of an ordinary boy who moved to a big city B-)
Judy Blume creates a beautiful and captivating story for young teenage girls and sends a silent message telling them that whenever they felt slow T growing or weird, every other girl around her felt the exact same way
Although, I'll admit, the first time I read the book at eight years old, I probably thought that Margaret was mean for not wanting her maternal grandparents to visit, I understand that they were a bit annoying and highly prejudiced for disowning their daughter in such a way because of who she fell in love with
She talks to God, sharing her concerns and asking for help as she tries to determine if one of her parents' religions (father's Jewish, mother's Christian) is right for her (by attending synagogue with her energetic grandmother and church with her friends)
n’t approve of how Margaret’s grandmother spoiled her with private schools and many more things.
She feels torn between two sides, worried that she will lose her father if she goes with her mother's religion, or that she will lose her mother if she goes with her father's religion
I hated my mother and slouched into the back seat as she drove away
I WON’T is a pretty good novel about a pubescent boy growing up in New York in the seventies
I love this book because fudge is so funny wiping mashed potatoes on the wall, playing with socks, and all the other funny things he does
I like this book because Fudge does a lot of funny things
But neither does it show Fudge as "all bad" - he is fussy, but most of the time he is just looking up to his older brother, trying to be "like Pee-tah".This book is a true little gem - it's still popular with kids nowadays, just as it was in 1972 when it was first published
As good as this book is, objectively speaking in terms of execution and entertainment factor, perhaps we should ask whether realist fiction does not discourage children to rise above difficult states of affairs, spank the inner mopet and at last grow up.
