Such a great book. He has others as well.

Conservatives always the constant hater. It's a good reminder that anytime they want to push their Christian values down in another person's throat remind them of how hateful and hypocritical they truly are. Seriously picking on a blind author what's next during a disabled child out of a wheelchair?

Over 4,000 5 star reviews on Amazon so word is getting out!

Why can’t people just leave other people alone?

Conservatives want to control everything. Including ppl who they don't know. And if you don't let them control you, they will try to destroy you unfortunately.

Like during Covid when they said democrats just wanted “control”. Pure projection. Like, no you morons we just don’t wanna all die to a virus.

Good guys W on this one:

I give those conservatives a 1/2 star review for their ignorant comments. Do they even realize that it’s the male penguin that actually sits on the egg through the incubation process? I suppose they’ll try to ban books that mention that for being too woke.

Just a reminder: Most libraries/library systems have “request” pages that allow you to ask the library to purchase/stock books not already on their shelves. So check to see if your local library is carrying this book and if not, ask if they will!

Here's the question to any hate monger: "Have you no shame?" Because its all a function of lack of shame.

maga is only 20% of the market, if capitalism was real no one would be focused on them.

Good god, I have never seen so much hate in my lifetime..yet I keep running into folks, mostly social, who are way more comfortable expressing their cowardice. The white rage is a conundrum to me..oh and some of my Jewish friends are mixed right in

Yup! Seeing the same thing

I follow him and his husband on IG. They are two of the sweetest, kindest people I've ever seen. The level of vitriol needed to do this to people that are only trying to make things in the world a little better is just... quite frankly, unimaginable to me. But love is stronger than hate.

Same, such a sweet couple

Those guys are so special. We both follow them too. ❤️

I love them. The little pranks his hubby plays on him are hilarious. It always gets him laughing.

I follow them on tik token. They are AWESOME!

Tok.

Der tiktoken is much funnier, though 🙂

True!!

I’ve wondered about what would happen if all the hateful people on earth were to disappear onto their own planet. I wonder how long it would take to become a dead planet after they started hating on each other. Would there be one last Karen wandering around yelling. Oh for wishful dreaming.

You’re a good guy, George Thanks for being an ally Seriously, thank you 🙏🏽

Ordered the book to offset the hate. Hope lots of people do the same.

From Amazon? Probably adding to hate.

I did not order through Amazon, but thanks for your concern. I went directly to the author's site.

If you’re against inclusivity, you’re on the wrong side. Period.

Them fuckers do everything to make them less eligible for further wasting oxygen.

This hate shows such ignorance. It’s widely documented that 2 male penguins in real life, together raised a baby penguin. It happens more than we know. It’s a fact. I’m so sick of these so-called Christian’s who are so full of hate & demand that the entire country adopt their sick ideas!

We CAN'T let hate win. If hate wins, we all lose. 😭

They can review bomb all they want, but in the end that will not stop the book from selling because we know just one thing. Maga review bombs tend to be written in crayon on their screens, and the few that aren't will be so poorly written as to be of no use as a review.

Isn't it about time that #Amazon ONLY allows those who have purchased a book from them be allowed to review said book??

I despise conservatives.

Conservatives will not be happy until everyone is forced to do whatever they want. It's never been about anything other than control, don't let them trick you otherwise.

History has been especially brutal on book-banners and exposed their ignorance for what it really was. Speaking out in real time with support shows that reasonable people are watching

I have seen his videos online! Such awful people in the world

I follow him on YouTube (his shorts content is awesome) super sad to see him having to put up with this bullshit

What is wrong with these people when it comes to reading books?

Checking amazon dot ca it looks like the review bombs were removed.

The secret ingredient is crime.

You can't really complain when the other side do EXACTLY what you asked others to do for our side!

I bought the books for my daughter and they’re lovely!

well I just found a crimmis present for my nephew and niece, thanks!

There's a misconception that in order to fight against hate, we have to be meek and saintly. But, the reality is we have to be stronger than hate. And we have to embrace the paradox of tolerance: to have more tolerance, we have to be intolerant of intolerance.

Hate to break it to everyone but hate won.

I don’t 100% trust this guy. When a bookstore supposedly canceled their massive order, I reached out, as a bookstore owner to stock the book and never heard a thing. That was a huge order for an indie too. Now this. My suspension of disbelief is challenged.

You can go read the reviews yourself. He said that after that went viral he received thousands of messages of support. It feels reasonable to have missed your email. Maybe try again?

Amazon must have seen that It was a spurious attack because I'm on Amazon right now at noon on Dec. 12, 2024 and there are zero 1 star reviews and 4,256 five star reviews, including my own!

📙📌

Review-bombing... another form of bullying behavior. Conservatives are just a bunch of bullies, using any and all techniques to be so.

Of course they did.

Never.

Perfect Xmas gift for your grands, nieces and nephews. Let’s get busy!

Better leave him and Mr Maple (his guide companion ) alone

I have loved watching them on tiktok, and bought the pengrooms book before he had to change the name. I hope they continue to make art and children's books.

They aren’t “conservatives”, ffs. Stop using that term bigots want you to keep using.

This is so ridiculous. Think for a moment, if you don't want your child to read this, great! Don't buy it. However I can't think of a more reprehensible person than one who steals someone else's shine.

I'm sure there are other sites but this book is getting 5 stars on Amazon right now, and that is with over 4,500 reviews

Just bought the book for my niece for xmas.

I believe some individuals choose to attack and spread hate because it is all they know. They might not even understand why they are doing it anymore.

Looks like the book is winning

The length to which MAGA will carry this hate is astounding! I am heartened by this story tho that there are still so many nice/compassionate people willing to do the good thing - bless them heartily! 🙏

He’s going blind

Hate didn't win here in Aus www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

No it didn't. It was so sad when sphen died. 🥺

But at the same time, #HATE has won the election and the so-called-hearts of the American voters. You must admit it's very disheartening, especially to those of us who are not led by #HATE.

Why are right wingers such assholes? Or are assholes all right wingers?

I bought his book!!

Could not agree more! There is an army of like-minded humans on Bluesky. Let's promote this book on Amazon.

"Every child deserves to see themselves represented in the stories they read." - Paul Castle Absolutely, yes, they do. I'm glad the haters didn't win. ❤️

It’s why I always leave 1 star reviews on the Bible.

Conservatives can’t read anyway.

Probably why a children's book is sadly appropriate

Paul is such a sweetheart!

I would have LOVED a book like this while growing up in the 70s-80s! I know I wasn’t, but it sure felt like I was the only one in the whole goddamned Midwest with two moms. (I also had a super dad.)

We’ve come too far as a society to let some dinosaurs try and drag us back into the past

His book now has a near perfect 5 out of 5 stars rating with more than 4200 reviews. Kind, empathetic people knew the assignment were not going to let hate and bigotry win.

We live in a world now where haters are going to hate and they find great joy in it. Keep the positive comments coming.

Why doesn't Amazon limit reviewers to those that actually bought the book. That way you have to at least give the author money, if you want to leave a BS review.

Don't people actually have to buy the item to review it?

Ban bigotry, not books!

I’ce watched a lot of their videos, usually of this guy being pranked by his husband. I had no idea this had happened to him. Fuck conservatives.

Conservatives are just closet a**holes hiding behind a book of fairy-tales -- usually claiming to be about "love thy neighbor".

Everyone order this book now.

What is wrong with those people?

He and his husband are both adorable kind humans. This is bullshit. I hate bullies!

*looking to add a new book to my collection 😄

People suck Sometimes, the book looks adorable. You have to have a heart made of coal to hate this.

Bold of you to assume that these people HAVE hearts.

I love this guy. I have seen several videos with him. He is a good person. People can be terrible.

What?! Nooooo, I follow his husband on the clock app. This is so sad. :(

I follow him, he's amazing!!

I dont tik tok, but I am going to buy this book. (And give a great review!) Thanks for letting us know.

People went to Amazon and left him lots of 5 stars and Amazon removed all the hate ratings

I donated to the onion

I bought this book for my niece! My sister says it’s really cute.

There is a pervasive sickness in America Called MAGA

Wait I thought the left was full of cancel culture snowflakes 🤔 looks like the right have become what the boogeyman they invited. Hypocrites

The right has always been cancel culture snowflakes, honestly, they just rather blame everyone else for it.

Instead of conservatives why not just put - by a bunch of miserable f*cks?-

How can I buy it?

Amazon has it as of this comment.

He's genuinely the nicest guy. 😞

I just bought the book The Secret Ingredient! Also, sent the link to family( I am 1 if 8) and a lot of friends. F*ck the haters! They won’t win because love is love is love ❤️

We need to know the name of that bookstore. They need to know that it's not okay to hate nor promote hate. Keep the messages polite obviously but that bookstore does need to be called out.

Didn’t hate already win in November? With the Supreme Court usurped and next administration’s cabinet picks I think it is clear where we are headed.

He's so sweet. 🥹 I'm sick of the hate!

It’s kinda weird to feel pressed by a children’s book about… loving parents who happen to both be male.

Sadly,we will see more of this over the next four years. Republicans have been on a rampage of banning books. Not only LGBTQ+ but books about minorities, slavery, etc. Maybe they should start by banning the one book they cherry-pick and embrace...

His book is amazing

Comicsands? More recognizable sources please!

Hey conservatives, tell me where the bad book touched you. Was it your heart or your brain? Both? Ouchy😭

Bold of you to assume they have either of those. 😅

😂

*sigh* Now I've got another book to buy! These Republicans are bankrupting me! 😁

So much for "only liberals have cancel culture."

I bought one. Well illustrated and a great story.

Matthew and Paul are the sweetest people. They deserve all the love they get.

I didn't know about his book, but saw some of his videos on my fyp. He seems like the sweetest, most jovial person. I hate that people did this.

I adore Paul & his husband Matthew 🫶🏻 Oh and of course Mr Maple 🦮❤️ Got some of his art prints at home ❤️

Ahh, this is not fun.. Way funnier when Matthew pranks Paul: www.youtube.com/shorts/wWTym...

Paul & Matthew are the sweetest couple. It's really telling when people hate on the sweetest, most wholesome people in the world. If your ethics tell you to hate on lovely people, it's time to grow a freaking soul!

💓

I love this guy.

I noted it has 5 stars on Amazon. Hardcover sells at 29.95. No other options.

Give this article a read if you haven't, there is a happy ending!

The would-be Christians who do this crap have never read a word Jesus said. Ugliness abounds as bullies reassert themselves. #nohate #author #books

www.amazon.com/Secret-Ingre...

Fuck Amazon.

Paul is a sweetheart

I love it when the Internet comes together

The Sydney zoo had a gay male penguin couple who raised a chick. It was lovely, and real.

It did win, though. America has proven that decency is as dead as democracy.

Sometimes I hate the internet more than anything in the world

WTF is wrong with those conservative fucks? Damn.

Hate has already won, Georgie. The question is, can we muster the ingenuity and courage to defeat it without descending into a selfsame savagery? #jurysout

Me thinks I need to buy this book and leave a 5 star review.

Just for awareness...I looked up the reviews...

Magas claim to be all about free speech when it comes to THEM spreading lies. But god forbid, you see a beer can image you don't like, or a children's book, and suddenly, they are screaming to ban books, images and opinions while relentlessly whining and playing the victim. I'm buying this book.

Yeah, they're all about freedom, but only if it's freedom to do everything their way. Screw everybody else

I think that most of the magas are narcissists. If you don’t agree with them, it hurts their pride.

Literally a blind kid! They are just horrible horrible ppl! Do don’t understand their mental illness

Hey George the same creator had another issue today you may want to go love on him directly www.facebook.com/share/r/7jQn...

I ordered this book to support the author after a bookstore cancelled their order - it’s the sweetest little story!

The worst of the worst have no lives, otherwise they’d have something better to do. Too damaged to let other people be.

Conservatives: Don't push this on our kids! Also Conservatives: We're going to push the Bible on your kids.

Why are conservatives so upset by other people’s happiness - it’s a weird sad existence

Because they're miserable people leading miserable lives, and want everyone else to be miserable too.

The imposed conservative mantra of misery loves company: something sumthin Jeezus suffered and so must we. sumthin something. “We?” Um. No.

The irony is they miss the entire point. Jesus suffered so that we don't have to. That was the entire point.

Bigots need to have their teeth knocked in. I am so sick of the unwarranted hate towards women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Well, this is crazy. Male penguins have been known to do the exact thing that is in this book. Hey, don't let a little thing like facts get in the way. They are each and every one of them dumb fucks

They have a Mr Maple plushie. Our dog is named Maple. Getting not just one book. Sending out our love.

I really wish these folks would get raptured already and leave the rest of us in peace. PS - I’m ordering the book.
