In this story, Peter is so upset with his little brother, "Fudge." Fudge is always getting into trouble, throwing temper tantrums and basically getting his way, but Peter is the one who ALWAYS get's blamed for Fudge's behavior. One day Peter win's a turtle at a friend's birthday party, but when Fudge gets a hold of it...well, let's just say it's a whole different ballgame.
This is a fun story that children will love! I would probably use it during a unit about family or cooperation.
South Carolina State Standard for Social Studies
Standard 1-1: The student will demonstrate an understanding of how individuals, families, and communities live and work together here and across the world.
1-1.4 Compare the daily life of families across the world—including the roles of men, women, and children; typical food, clothes, and style of homes; and the ways the families earn their living.
After reading aloud Tale of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume, the students would make a graphic organizer describing the Hatchers' family life expressed in the book and their own family life. Then the students would compare the similarities and differences.
