Product Description
Review
"It is a pleasure to watch a talented author like Judy Blume consistently create books that reflect a remarkable ability for combining humor with a perceptive insight into a child's world." --Publishers Weekly
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Book Description
He knows a lot of big words, but he doesn’t know where babies come from. He’s never heard of a stork, but he plans to be a bird when he grows up. He’s Superfudge, otherwise known as Farley Drexel Hatcher. And, according to his older brother Peter, the biggest pain ever invented. Among other things.
As fans of Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing already know, nothing is simple for Peter Hatcher. He is far from overjoyed at the turn the family fortunes are taking. It looks as if Peter will be spending the sixth grade far from Central Park, Sheila Tubman, Jimmy Fargo, and Henry the doorman. (He won’t miss Sheila). And it also looks as if Fudge will no longer be the baby of the family. How will Peter ever survive if his new sibling is a carbon copy of Fudge?
But as Fudge fans also know, bad news for Peter generally means good news for Judy Blume’s readers—in the form of a very funny story.
They won’t be disappointed!

Great book, but FYI: contains the "truth about Santa"...,
By
This review is from: Superfudge (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book along side my 5 year old who's reading Double Fudge. Because he's reading at 4th grade level, we've been searching for books that are just right for him. Little did I know that I myself would enjoy reading Judy Blume's books this much as well. It is a great way for us to bond when the whole family reads the same book--and bonus for us parents to be able to read books that are not dumbed down just because they are meant for kids. In addition, I am also glad that I read the book before handing it to my son because it does "reveal" the "truth about Santa"... Since my son is only 5, unlike most of Judy Blume's intended readers, he still believes in Santa. I've never written an Amazon review before, but I thought I should point this out in case someone else is thinking of getting this book for his/her early reader. If this does not concern you, then I highly recommend this book: I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard.

Good for kids who can read themselves, also as a read-aloud,
By Amanda (Ile Perrot, QC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Superfudge (Paperback)
I bought this book to read aloud to my daughter, who is just starting to read herself. I had very fond memories of reading this book myself as a child. It's a fun book to read aloud, although I did have to edit out the word "stupid" a few times (my daughter is five).

Very Funny!,
By A grade 4 student (First Avenue P.S., Ottawa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Superfudge (Paperback)
Peter Hatcher thought it was impossible to have another little brother/sister until his mom told him and his brother Fudge (Farley Drexel Hatcher, age 4) that she was going to have a baby -- one month before the baby was due (gross).Peter asked if the baby was going to be like Fudge when he was younger, and his mom said "I don't know?" A couple of months after the baby was born they had to move because their apartment wasn't that big. They were moving from New York to New Jersey. Peter was so mad, he wanted to run away. So did Fudge. Then Peter didn't care, he decided that after dinner he was going to run away. But after dinner, he forgot all about it. So, months after that, they moved to New Jersey and they had this really freaky lady who lived beside them. She dug up all these worms for Fudge and Peter, and Fudge helped her. Fudge put them in a jar that said 'Worms', and he danced around with the jar of worms on his head. Peter was in disgust watching his brother dancing around with worms on his head like that. I think the book would be good to read if you're from age 8 to 11. No big words, but very funny. Warning: Parents may not like the series because of food being poured on a child's head and smeared on walls. But kids will like the series because of food being poured on a child's head and smeared on wall.
