2/100 — Not Woke
US
Score Summary
Bullwrinkle & Friends is a self-published children's picture-book series (debut title "The Mud Monster") sold through Amazon, built around a Shar-Pei character who teaches young readers family values and new vocabulary. As an independent author brand it has no ESG, DEI, HRC rating, or PAC, and we found no federal contributions or lobbying tied to it. The low score reflects a business too small to have any corporate political footprint.

What They Do
Bullwrinkle & Friends is a children's picture-book series built around Bullwrinkle, a young Shar-Pei with, in the series' words, "an old soul." The debut title, The Mud Monster: A Funny Children's Book for Ages 3-8, follows Bullwrinkle as he breaks his mother's rules, wanders into the woods after a lost ball, and learns the muddy consequences. Every book pairs slapstick humor with a plain life lesson — The Mud Monster's is "listening to and following the family rules" — and introduces a new vocabulary word for young readers. The books sell as paperbacks (with a free Kindle edition) through Amazon. The publisher states its mission simply: "To inspire children and parents everywhere with imagination, laughter and the joy of reading." Teaching family values is described as "a highlight."
Why There's No Political Footprint Here
This is a self-published children's author brand, not a corporation. There is no ESG report, no DEI department, no HRC rating and no political action committee — and that isn't a stand anyone took. It's what an operation this size is. Corporate activism runs on scale: investor-relations teams, compliance officers, government-affairs budgets. A picture-book series has a writer, an illustrator, and a cartoon Shar-Pei who yells "Great Jelly Donut!"
What We Checked
We read the series' own product listing and searched for federal campaign contributions, lobbying filings, and any corporate advocacy tied to the brand. We found none — the expected result at this size.
The Bottom Line
Money spent on these books goes to an independent author and the people who help make them, not a corporate political apparatus. We make no claim about the author's personal politics — we don't know them, and it isn't our business. What we can tell you is that your purchase isn't funding anything.
