Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">First, he led his own uprising. Then he captured a forsaken king. Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent. His own supporters turned against him, demanding more than he could give. The haughty Percies precipitated the Battle of Shrewsbury which nearly cost him the throne—and his life.</span><br style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;" /><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">To make matters worse, even after Richard II's funeral, the deposed monarch was rumored to be in Scotland, planning his return. The king just wouldn't stay down and malcontents wanted him back.</span></p>

Story Behind The Book

This book was written for my daughter and is about a pet duck she used to have and the mischief it got into!

Princess Andrea's Birthday Surprise by Ginny Christensen is a heartwarming tale about what Andrea gets for her eighth birthday. I found this to be a really cute story for any little girl around the ages of 6 to 7 years old. Although there is a small editing issue I will be recommending this book to a school librarian that I know. (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2JOQU0R62V1PD/ref=cm_pdp_pop_prof_name"><strong><font color="#003399">Carol Langstroth</font></strong></a> )<br /><br /><p><font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2"><span style="font-size:10pt;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">When Andrea woke up the morning of her birthday, she was so excited for her princess birthday party. When she got her present, a baby duck, she was overjoyed. Soon, however, the baby duck grew, and was causing problems. Saddened, Andrea knew it was time to set the duck free, but not before giving the duck a present. This children’s picture book, targeted for girls age four to eight, is told in a rhyming format. I’m not so sure about the duck as a gift, as a parent myself, I was wondering what her parents were thinking, but it demonstrated the boundaries of wildlife captivity on a child’s level. The illustrations were beautiful and the poetic format of the book flowed smoothly. I really loved the duck facts at the end of the book. Princess Andrea’s Birthday Surprise, is a sad, sweet, and memorable story for children.   </span></font></p><table class="MsoNormalTable" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td style="border-right:#000000 1pt solid;padding-right:3pt;border-top:#000000 1pt solid;padding-left:3pt;background:#3c4150;padding-bottom:3pt;border-left:#000000 1pt solid;padding-top:3pt;border-bottom:#000000 1pt solid;" bgcolor="#3c4150"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;"><a href="http://www.authorkellymoran.com/nno-review.htm"><font color="#FFFFFF"><span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Kelly Moran, Author &amp; Reviewer</span></font></a></span></font></strong></p><p></p></td></tr></tbody></table><font color="#000000"><span style="color:#000000;"></span></font><p></p>
