Book Review: Lead Like Ike: Ten Business Strategies from the CEO of D-Day

Author Geoff Loftus does an amazing job of using the strategies of the past used by Dwight Eisenhower to teach enduring principles of leadership for the leader of today. At first it was a little difficult to get used to the style. You start out immersing yourself with the past and then all of the sudden you are talking about Apple and their marketing strategy. Once you get used to the flow it is facinating from start to finish. Even if your interest is from a purely historical standpoint it is definitley worth the read.

Book Review: The Dragon and the Turtle Go On Safari

Best friends Padraig the dragon and Roger the turtle are brave
explorers determined to spend the the whole night outside. Despite the
scary things that appear after dark they discover how brave they
really can be. Overall the book wasn't bad, the illustrations were
very nice. I did think that the book was a little long and advanced
for younger children. The characters spoke in a british accent which
is different for a childrens book. At the end the authors included a
discussion page based on key points in the book but tied it with a
religious theme. It wasn't preachy or expected but a nice balance.
Overall I don't think I would recommed this book. Book was provided
