Surviving Your SERENGETI 7 Skills to Master Business and Life

Surviving Your Serengeti is an adventure fable providing a captivating metaphor on how everyone can 

triumph over life’s challenges by each using their unique innate skills.

What a super "quick-read" book!  First,the cover caught my eye!
This fable of self-discovery will instantly draw you into the journey of Sean and Ashley Spencer's three day trip to Africa's Serengeti.


Sean's old friend, Zachariah Maekna, allows them to accompany him to witness survival skills displayed by seven animals that thrive in the extreme, constantly changing conditions of the beautiful Serengeti.


What I enjoyed most in this fable was the excitement provided in each chapter as the characters observed nature's reality in one of the most difficult places on earth.  I became curious to read the strength of each animal and how each trait is translated into the world of business and our personal lives.


I also liked the concise summary of the unique survival skill possessed by wildlife in the Serengeti at the end of each chapter.  An added bonus was the self-discovery opportunity suggestion provided by following the quick online quiz at www.WhatAnimalAmI.com.  Aren't you just a bit curious to read and discover what survival skill you possess?  I highly recommend this book.

Horse Dreams Backyard Horses

Do you have a daughter who loves horses?

The first book in Dandi Daley Mackall's new Backyard Horses series brought back memories of wishing for my own horse.

Ellie James, a fourth grader with a great imagination, spends a lot of time daydreaming about owning a black stallion show horse and winning trophies in the horse show.  The answer to all her dreams and prayers gallops into her life and it will surprise you at the dramatic turn of events.

I believe all elementary readers will find Ellie James to be honest and yet devoted to animals, especially horses. 
Also, each chapter's title includes the sign language spelling - an especially nice addition.  You'll need to read the story to understand the significance of this feature.

I would highly recommend this book and I'm looking forward to the next  book in the series, Cowboy Colt.
I received a complimentary copy of this book for review purposes from Tyndale House.
