Michael Eisner

School Library Journal

Gr 4-7-- A profile highlighting Eisner's fast rise to the top of the corporate ladder as head of Disney. In an abbreviated, somewhat didactic manner, the quick climb to success is chronicled in relatively few pages. Other business principles and ideas are discussed in boxed segments that contribute to the choppiness of the narrative. The topic will have limited appeal for its intended audience; economic issues are not of great concern to children, and are not generally a part of the curriculum. The black-and-white photos lack clarity and do little to enhance the text. No documentation of sources is given. --Beth Irish, Orange Public Library, CA
