Plot
The Hatcher family temporarily moves from New York City to Princeton, New Jersey. Fudge is extremely jealous of his new baby sister, Tamara, who earns the nickname "Tootsie" from their mother Ann'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", antics trying to get rid of Tootsie, and his constant desire to involve himself in Peter's activities, especially 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.
