At the beginning of the book, Peter, who is in fourth grade and is nine years old, wins a turtle named Dribble at Jimmy Fargo's birthday party and takes it home to his house on West 68th Street in New York City. His mother does not really want him to keep the turtle, and she thinks the turtle smells. Peter's mother is constantly telling him to scrub his hands, while his father, who works in advertising, spends a lot of time watching commercials on TV, including the commercial he wrote for Juicy-O.
Peter's biggest problem is his brother, Farley Drexel Hatcher, nicknamed Fudge, who is two-and-a-half years old. Fudge does things like throw tantrums and eat his mother's flowers. When Mr. Yarby, who is the head of Juicy-O, comes to dinner with his wife, Fudge torments them by doing things like appearing at the table with Dribble, the turtle, and showing up wearing a gorilla mask. Perhaps partly as a result of this, Peter's father loses the Juicy-O account.
