New kids’ book introduces ‘Alan the Accountant’

IMGCAP(1)]

Looking to lure your kid into the wonderful world of accounting? Now there’s a children’s book downloadable on your iPhone that introduces a new character in the profession – Alan the Accountant.

The book, written by Jinky Fox, is the first in a series of new books starring people in careers that are not usually associated with children’s books.

Fox set out to become an accountant but was sidetracked into fine art. This book allows him to explore the accounting profession that he missed out on.

But for kids, Alan the Accountant is a cute figure who wears the shortest pants we’ve ever seen. Check it out http://flaneur.me.uk/08/alan-the-accountant-childrens-iphone-book/.
