A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo, by Jill Twiss

It took me some time to pick up this book, it got a lot of media attention when it was published and I thought there was no way such a high profile children's book would actually be an enjoyable read.  But I was wrong.  It's delightful and funny and conveys a great message without being preachy and our family adores it so much that our son insisted we read it to his whole preschool class!

Marlon Bundo (the grandson of Mike Pence, the Vice President) leads a repetitive life until he encounters Wesley.  Wesley and Marlon quickly fall in love and make plans to "hop together Forever."  All of their friends are thrilled except for the (hilariously) grumpy Stink Bug, who is unfortunately in charge.  As the most important, Stink Bug proclaims that boy bunnies can NOT marry boy bunnies because being different is bad.  All of their other friends think up ways in which they are different as well (Mr. Paws the dog likes to sniff butts) and decide to vote the Stink Bug out of office and Marlon and Welsey live happily ever after.  Like I said, the best!  And with enough funny parts that a roomful of 4 and 5 year olds won't be able to contain their laughter.
