"Sean Nelson's books are a great resource for parents to educate their children outside of the classroom. His books are not only entertaining for both parent and child, but also provide many opportunities for meaningful and intelligent discussions."

"A brilliant technique that exemplifies fairness and the value of hard work. This truly is an outstanding book for children. I found it to be an appropriate way to explain personal responsibility and fairness in relation to how we survive in our society today to my 8-year-old. Politics can be extremely boring to children, but the adventure of Bungles and his friends is a fun way for kids to learn the basics of conservatism. This book explicitly portrays the importance of discovering our individual roles in the system in addition to the consequences we face when selecting our leaders. I highly recommend it as a reference for parents who are passing on their political perspectives."

"Praise for Bungles Loses His Marbles! Meet Bungles the industrious bunny who sells chocolate chip cookies for marbles, only to have Willy the donkey take the marbles and give them to Peabody the turtle and the Lemming brothers 'who have nothing'. Author and Illustrator Sean Nelson takes children on a fascinating journey using cartoon animals to teach valuable lessons with characters all adults will recognize such as 'Ronnie the Elephant', and 'Willy the Donkey'. Ronnie the Elephant is an eloquent speaker who 'takes the hat of power' from Willy the Donkey and inspires the other animals to dream big, work hard and take care of each other. Ronnie the Elephant announces that, going forward, only a few marbles will be taken from each animal. The animals are to keep the marbles they earn and enjoy them. Eventually the industrious spirit catches on and all the animals are finding ways to earn marbles.
Mr. Nelson finds a creative and fun way to explain the value of 'earning and keeping marbles' and helping one another as opposed to the Hat of Power taking on the role. Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity will be thrilled with this childrens book!"
