description: Any fourth grader would agree that Peter Hatcher had a terrible problem -- his little brother, Fudge. But the grownups in his life just couldn't see that there was something wrong with a two-year-old who broke his front teeth trying to fly, decided that he was a dog, went on a no-eat strike, and scribbled all over his brother's homework. Peter was always asked to perform so that Fudge would be less of a terror: like standing on his head so that Fudge would laugh, opening his mouth for his mother to pop food into, or convincing Fudge that pedaling a Toddle-Bike was fun so that he would ride for a TV commercial. But Peter was finding his brother harder and harder to take -and when Fudge got at his pet turtle, Dribble, that was the living end. What happens then, and how Peter's parents save the day, makes for a mixture of hilarity and a little more understanding on everyone's part.--front flap
