Overview

Everything is normal in the office until a mysterious green goo from the lab on the 3rd-floor oozes into the corporate office fish tank. Suddenly, the fish are super smart and very demanding. In fact, the fish have taken over the office and threatened poor Jason Mason with war. Over what? You ask. DIET FISH FOOD! Follow corporate office worker, Jason Mason, on his hilarious three-week adventure as he deals with smart fish and their pet shark. Dear Mr. Graph, It's confirmed: the fish have been traveling outside of their tank. Returning them is a chore. They claim they need to explore the world around them to better understand it. I tried reasoning with them by telling them their so-called ""explorations"" are fruitless and that they should really stay in their tank despite their new vehicles. I stacked some heavy phone books on top of the tank as soon as I collected all the escapees. I don't know how you manage to get any actual work done! Sincerely, Jason Mason Targeted for children ages 8-10, this book is sure to bring a smile to the face of any builder, problem solver, and fish lover.

Corporate Fish And the Green Goo is a children's book that is funny and clever. The central point of the work is an unusually down-scaled A team to fit an easy-going, hilarious narrative, or the characters of a subtle fable. It's a humorous detail to have the office tank fish form a cosmopolitan microsociety, where each of the fish represents a personality type. However, what makes it even more appealing is the pseudo-seriousness of the tone that the author gives to his heroes when vocalizing their demands and concerns. Jason Mason is responsible for caring for the fish. He is an individual who tends to overthink and overreact, serving as the medium through which Xanthos Likes is gradually constructing the story. The narrative of this little book would not have the same impact on young readers without the contribution of Mary Barrows, the illustrator. Corporate Fish And the Green Goo is both visual and mental. The illustrations bring the words to life, and the reader will giggle at the picture of Cameron, the commando fish. Corporate Fish And the Green Goo is a brilliant work that will appeal to the indicated age group, but at the same time, it is a source of amusement for all those who are still kids at heart. -eBookFairs
