Are you on the hunt for a funny, laugh-out-loud chapter book series for ages 6+ all about sibling relationships? Judy Blume's bestselling and much-loved five-book series is what we recommend!
Meet Peter. Peter has a huge, loud, screaming, naughty problem: HIS BROTHER Fudge, who always says and does the wrong things at the worst possible time.
Fudge makes all kinds of messes. Some involve Peter's most prized possession, his new baby turtle. Others involve Peter's arch nemesis Sheila the Great. Others even involve trying to SELL and then GIVE AWAY their new BABY SISTER! Whenever and wherever Fudge is involved, trouble ensues.
What we love about this series is that much of it is based on real-life stories! The story of Dribble the turtle was inspired by a news clipping of a little boy that had swallowed his very own pet baby turtle! Sheila is very much inspired by Judy's own childhood fears (did someone say thunderstorms?), and Peter and Fudge's baby sister is a special request from many children who asked for a new baby in the story! The challenges Peter and Fudge face are very much part of everyday life, relatable and ... funny!
If you're looking for funny stories with mischievous characters getting up to all kinds of antics, this is the next hilarious book series by the iconic author Judy Blume! Throughout these books you will find themes of friendship, brotherhood, daily life and first experiences.
This series is perfect if you've read and loved Ivy and Bean and other funny books for kids!
