Superfudge is a children's novelbyJudy Blume, published in 1980. It is the sequeltoTales of a Fourth Grade Nothing and Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great and is the third in the Fudge series.
The Hatcher family has a new baby daughter in the beginning. Several months before they temporarily move from New York CitytoPrinceton, New Jersey, she is born, named Tamara Roxanne, and called "The Baby" for weeks. Peter's 4-year-old brother, Fudge, is extremely jealous of her, who earns the nickname "Tootsie" from their mother Anne's cute speak and their grandmother Muriel's favorite old song. Peter deals with the fallout from Fudge's various problems, which include a spat with his teacher who refuses to use the name "Fudge". When she refuses to do so, he kicks her in the shin. He also attempts to get rid of Tootsie and is famous for his constant desire to involve himself in Peter's activities, specially with Peter's new friend, Alex Santo. In the end, the Hatchers decide to move back to New York City, a decision punctuated by Tootsie's first word which she learns while undergoing a diaper change.
A Saturday morning television series based on Superfudge entitled Fudge ran for portions of two seasons on ABC in 1995. "Fudge Meets Ratface" was one of the episodes based on Chapter 6 of Superfudge, which was called "Farley Drexel Meets Ratface".
