I don't usually read business management books for pleasure, so I was a bit taken back when I was asked to read this book with an eye to making it into a children's picture book. What? A Children's Picture book about business management? I will admit I was skeptical.
But the book has a charm and an appeal that lifted it out of the realm of the dry business text. It is less a how to book on management and much more a manual on successful living - no matter what your occupation. A pleasure to read, inciteful in many ways. But a children's book? Hmmm. We will have to think about that.
