Getting a jump start on the Read Harder 2023 Challenge with a children‘s book. 🙃 It was cute, not unlike so many other Children‘s books. Politically funny, depending on your world views. Think I‘m gonna start calling people stink bugs if they‘re that hardcore hateful. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Last Sunday when @ozma.of.oz posted her #SundayFunday game about #bannedbooks, this is the book I stacked as having been banned in the last year.

Since it was a quick picture book read, I checked it out and read it right away. I enjoyed it thoroughly! I gather there's a whole series of Marlon Bundo books now. He deserves it. Marlon seems like a really nice bunny.

A solid pick with no stinkbugs for me! 😄

BookmarkTavern I‘m so glad you liked it! If you enjoy audiobooks, I definitely recommend giving it a try that way too. It was delightful. ❤️ 3y

1. It certainly doesn't hurt in my opinion. I've ready quite a lot of books that are banned. Not because they are banned, but because they are good books!
2. I probably wasn't aware enough of banned books when I was younger. I was a mostly oblivious young person. I think Fahrenheit 451 or Huck Finn were the first books I was aware of being problematic for some people.
3. Done!

BookmarkTavern As soon as people started making a fuss over your tagged book, I bought three copies to give away! 😂 Thanks for sharing! 3y
DrexEdit @ozma.of.oz I'm looking forward to reading it! 😊 3y

Read for #BannedBookWeek .

This book is challenged for having LGBTQIA+ content and for “its effect on young people who read it”.

This is a short and sweet picture book about Mile Pence‘s daughter‘s bunny who falls in love with another boy rabbit. The illustrations are so cute! 5🌟

This was so great, and having the full cast was perfect. Jim Parsons as Marlon Bundo (but his family calls him BOTUS) was perfect! Possibly the wisest words ever spoken in a children‘s book: “Stink bugs are temporary. Love is forever.” It also had a positive message about voting.

So true. I can think of a stink bug I‘m hoping is running out of time.

"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." ❤

I so love this book!

Currently available on Amazon Prime Reading, this is a story about Marlon Bundo, BOTUS. His grampa is VP Mike Pence. Marlon falls in love with with another boy bunny Wesley and wants to get married. With the help of his friends, Marlon & Wesley fight the Stink Bug in charge to be able to marry. Super cute illustrations with a nice message.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ All the love for this book, it definitely put a #smile on my face! I'm well aware of the hoopla surrounding this book so I was pleasantly surprised to like it so much. Illustrations were sweet, the story was charming and the message may or may not have brought a tear to my eye.

"A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo" is a fantastic book for people of all ages. I loved the topics that this book managed to fit in: same sex marriage, LGBTQ rights, voting, the value of friendship, and love. All important topics that should be shared and talked about. 5 ⭐s⁠

In honor of #bannedbookweek, I pulled this off my shelf and read it to my son. Completely delightful, I particularly like the illustrations (Marlon‘s bow tie tho 🙌🏻)

A much sweeter book than I was expecting, pleased to have this in my library.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[As an aside, anyone else wonder how the infamously bigoted Pences came to name their rabbit after a man who was famously bisexual or is it just me?]

I absolutely loved loved loved this book! The bunnies were adorable and it sends out a great message that each and every one of us is different. It shows why the other animals are different and that is okay. Even when the stinky bug tried to stop Marlon and Wesley from marrying each other, the animals figured out a way to stop the stink bug. Highly recommended read for any age!

I borrowed Marlon Bundo from the library, and I have no idea why I waited so long. This book is adorable, and perfect in every way it was intended to be. The illustrations are so cute. And while it pokes fun at the current political clime, the message is enduring. Love as thou wilt! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Marlon Bundo is the 700th book I have marked as read on Goodreads. It is a milestone for me! I have only read about 15-20 books per year up until May of 2015, when I left a job that was bringing me down - and started to read. About two thirds of the 700 was read since. I am very happy about that :)

This charmingly illustrated children‘s book is adorable, humorous, with cute bunnies. And, with a message that love is love, and stinkbugs can be voted out of office.
I got a special kick out of the bunnies watching BNN and the Real Wolf Blitzer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My favorite? This heart-warming 7-minute children‘s book about a “Very Special boy bunny who falls in love with another boy bunny” 🐰

Marlon Bundo is about to have a very special day- but it started out like any other with him waking up alone, eating alone, and watching tv all alone. But when he went into the garden he met a very beautiful bunny named Wesley- that all changed. The two bunnies face adversity at the legs of the Stinkbug, but with the helps of their friends they realize that different is good and that they can decide who is in charge by voting!

BooknerdsLife I really want to read this one too 😄 6y

I've been waiting since March to read this, and I finally got it from the library yesterday. It's a cute story and I might actually buy it for my siblings' kids. It teaches acceptance and to love differences.
