Review
Safe, light-hearted humor is the key to keeping co-workers in good spirits, according to Brodsky. Keeping that in mind, he based his book on children's stories and nursery rhymes.
We are introduced to The Pied Piper of Excellence, Goldstein and the Three Lawyers, the Lowly Employee, The Little Accountant That Could, and many other transformed fairy tale characters.
"The premise is that these are nice stories to hear as a child, but they don't seem relevant to adults", said Brodsky. "I decided to update them with new, humorous 'lessons' that apply to the business world."
"Corporate Fairy Tales" will easily fit in a briefcase for a quick read between power takeovers. The book will give comic relief from the day-to-day stress and frustrations faced in the workplace. -- Mason Canyon, Rome News-Tribune in Rome, GA
Brodsky, your're fired! -- Paul's former boss
Good for light, quick reading and a businessman's chuckle is this slim book which takes well-known children's fairy tales and adds a corporate twist. From the trials of a very large company called Gruff, Inc. to "The Little Accountant That Could", this will add humor to many an otherwise dull day. -- Midwest Book Review
I loved it! In fact, I bought 50 copies -- Paul's Mom
I wish I had grown up with this book. -- The guy at IBM who said PCs were just a fad
Paul Brodsky has decided it is time for Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks to grow up. With that notion, he has modernized some of our favorite childhood fairy tales and changed the setting to reflect today's business world.
Goldilocks becomes Goldstein and the Three Lawyers and Little Red Riding Hood becomes Little Red's Riding Hoods.
The satire is stinging, and quite funny, in these stories. Anyone who has ever dealt with or been employed by a corporation will find something to laugh about here.
The author notes that if you enjoy reading the Dilber comic strip, this will make a welcome addition to your library. -- Grand Paraire News in Arlington, TX
Product Description
If you have ever wondered why so many front-yard lemonade stands are forced to close within hours of opening, it is because these young entrepreneurs don't know how to develop a business plan or implement a quality program. Corporate Fairy Tales fills this literary gap that some speculate was a key element that lead to the great depression of the 1920's.
Corporate Fairy Tales takes many of the well-known children's stories, rhymes and songs that we grew up with and presents them with a corporate twist. Your readers will have an instant connection to the stories as soon as they read the titles. For example, Goldstein and the Three Lawyers, The Pied Piper of Excellence, and The Twelve Days of Business are just a few of the stories included in this book.
Anyone who has ever worked for, dealt with, or encountered big business (which includes most all of us) will enjoy this humorous collection of stories. If you like Dilbert, you will love Corporate Fairy Tales.
Corporate Fairy Tales is the book you SHOULD have grown up with.
