A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo - lovely children's book for charity
A Day In The Life Of Marlon Bundo - Marlon Bundo,Jill Twiss,Richard Parsons

I now own three copies: one hardcover, one kindle and one audio - which is completely lovely and well worth the donation (ALL PROCEEDS GO TO CHARITY!) After reading and listening to the audio, I've ordered 5 more copies for children I know. It's a very appropriate children's book. 

 

Common Sense Media, an independent non-profit organization helping parents make media choices for their children, gave the book a four star rating and considers it appropriate for children of four years and older, giving it its highest marks for "positive messages" and "positive role models and representations."

 

Written by Jill Twiss (with an assist from Marlon Bundo) and illustrated by EG Keller (aka Gerald Kelley) about, well... a in the life of Marlon Bundo, the real-life rabbit of the Pence family. You might know the Pence family because their dad is Mike: Vice President of the United States.

 

The pictures are really adorable and it's actually just a very lovely story about everyone being different and that's awesome. Also, it's nice to hop together rather than alone. And animals make a perfect bridal party -- I learned a lot!

 

In the audio version Jim Parsons plays Marlon Bundo, John Lithgow plays the evil stinkbug (not too scary for kids, but scary enough) and tons of other lovely voice acting in this short children's book from the likes of Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jeff Garlin, Ellie Kemper, Jack McBrayer, and RuPaul!

"Because it doesn’t matter if you love a girl bunny or a boy bunny or eat your sandwich backward or forward. Stink bugs are temporary. Love is forever."

This is a sweet, wonderful, positive children's book.

Truly, this is the better Bundo book. And 100% of the proceeds go to The Trevor Project and AIDS United, which makes it even better.

I hope Stinkbug and Pence are choking on thier bile
A Day In The Life Of Marlon Bundo - Marlon Bundo,Jill Twiss,Richard Parsons

Marlon Bundo is not a godfather, or at least he doesn’t seem to be.  It is important to know this.  This picture book is a response to the Pence family book about their bunny rabbit and a plea for tolerance.

 

                And as my students would say, “it is as funny as shit”.

 

                Yeah, I’m not sure how shit is funny either.  I mean, okay, I suppose if you have been constipated and then you go No 2, it might as good as shit.  But what sort of weird tickling shit exists that makes you laugh?

 

                This book by Jill Twiss (John Oliver) is about a bunny who falls in love with another bunny, another buck (I am sorry but a male bunny is a buck and not boy, just saying). and then Donald Trump aka Stinkbug tells them they can’t marry.  Thankfully, Marlon Bundo has a bunch of friends, one of whom, the dog, understands democracy.  The cool thing is that Marlon’s friends are all different in different ways – including a decorative turtle and a hedgehog (honesty, you have me at hedgehog) who likes to read the endings first to make sure the book isn’t too traumatic (Dude, put down Old Yeller!).

 

                The artwork is beautiful.

 

                Now, I’m sure that some people are going to get upset about this spoof of the Pence family book, but you know what – I don’t care.  I don’t care at all.  Pence has shown that he does not care about me because I have a vagina, and he wants some of my friend to change who they are.  So, you know what, Mike Pence can take his homophobic, sexist self and jump in a lake.

 

                Don’t worry, Marlon Bundo, you have a home for life.

 

                A half star off because I am a comma purist so really 4.5, but the illustrations are so beautiful.

Review: A Day In The Life Of Marlon Bundo
A Day In The Life Of Marlon Bundo - Marlon Bundo,Jill Twiss,Richard Parsons

Had to purchase he audiobook to tide me over until the physical books are back in stock.

 

As the bisexual mother of lesbian and pansexual daughters, and the sister-in-law of two lovely lesbians with three beautiful daughters, this was the best book I've read/listened to. As a human person who believes in tolerance, equality and that love is love, this is the best book I've read/listened to!

The narrators were perfect, as was the story. There was so much importance in how the animals all stood behind the bunnies who only wanted to love one another. And the best moment was when they all realized that they got to decide who their leader was, and voted the mean old stink bug out! Love and tolerance won in the end.

This book gives me hope that this will soon be the case in real life.
