What do you get when you have an officer, a spreadsheet, and the Good Idea Fairy in one story? The results just might be nuclear. Officers, bosses, and anyone in charge of a project sometimes get influenced by the 'good idea fairy'. This fairy gives them 'ideas' that turn simple tasks such as giving color to a spreadsheet into inflated epics like organizing finance meetings, preparing briefings and working with scientists from Research and Development. Come along for the humorous tale of an enlisted ferret with the herculean effort of providing a spreadsheet for an officer afflicted by the good idea fairy. If You Give An Officer a Spreadsheet is the perfect story time addition for any military or civilian family with its tongue in cheek look at military operations and its teachable moments of perseverance in the face of adversity.
