Judy Blume's Fudge Box Set

Timeless reading material for 3-5 graders reflecting a wholesome look at life and situations that children must navigate.

I bought these Judy blume books for my granddaughter. I read all of Judy blume's books when I was a child 40 years ago! Still great! Durable, great images on the covers, a substantial read. Box set is great quality for the money! I would recommend 👌 Peace

This box set was purchased for my 3rd grade son who was constantly requesting new books to devour. These were surprisingly not in his school's library, but I'd grown up with them myself so I ordered them from here. Judy Blume's knack for writing from the perspective of an awkward preteen is still a goal most authors strive for. The humor throughout is age appropriate, but not so sugar-sweet that it reads like nursery rhyme. It touches lightly on first crushes, the shocking (and oddly hilariously written) death of a pet, and the ever popular theme of sibling rivalry. The books are just as good as they were in the 80s and 90s. I'd had concerns that the jokes or settings would be dated and feel out of place since the books came out so long ago, but they have held up very well over time. My son followed along just fine, and I personally didn't notice too many overly nostalgic quips that would need to be explained to a modern day youngster. There's a surprising amount of character development in these young characters as the books progress throughout the childhoods of Peter and Fudge Hatcher, two brothers that love each other, but whose differences in age and personality often result in frustration and amusing conflicts for the reader. It is VERY important to note that this book series addresses the Santa Claus issue in "Superfudge." If you want your youngsters to maintain their innocence on the topic, do not let them read this particular book in the series until you, and they, are ready. This particular book in the series also touches on light flirting, such as hand holding and little kisses on cheeks. There is a scene where characters are involved in a minor fight as well. It should be noted though, that nothing is introduced that is inappropriate by most family's standards. This series was and remains a staple classic in children's literature. I highly recommend these books for parents that are struggling to pique their children's interest in reading when most subject matter is unappealing to your young readers.

Bought for my nine year old grand daughter. Hope she enjoys these as much as I did. Good price!!!

Excited to find box set of just Blume’s kids books. My kids grew up reading these. They loved me reading to them and then when they could read them by themselves.

Great book for 10 or 11 year old

I learned about this series from a friend who has read the books as a child himself (so, I'm guessing late 1970s or early 1980s). My son has devoured the whole 5 books series in a few days. The stories are easy enough to follow for a 9 year old and they are very funny (for a 9 year old). It's about a family with 2 brothers, the younger one - a 2 year old Fudge- being the main source of exasperation and fun for all involved. My child would just randomly laugh out loud and then rush to me to read me a sequence in the book - something that truly warms my heart. For most young readers, it's all about the content and this is a funny, totally appropriate material. Definitely recommend.

My kids love these books. I bought them to read for story time before we go to bed. However, I must note that the books sometimes mention things I don't want my kids to know about just yet. (Is Santa real, where do babies come from, etc.) I always try to skim ahead as I read and then skip anything I don't want to read out loud.

Great books.

Well packed so arrived in pristine order.

Bought these stories for a Christmas present for a 9 year old grandson. The series starts with a child in grade 4 and then moves on each year. The story mainly covers the funny antics of a younger brother, something very relatable for many kids. Our son loved reading Judy Blume books as a child. They are wholesome and entertaining. No need to read them first to check out the language and storyline is acceptable.

Nothing to complain about.
