//non-fiction:animal:// __//The Percheron Horse//__ //non-fiction: plant:// __//The Tree//__ //Personal Goal: I want to read non-fiction books that are mainly about domestic animals. Historical fiction goal: __Kristina the Girl King__// I agree to these goals: Mrs. Petty 1/11/10

//__The Percheron Horse__ The Percheron Horse tells all about the breed of Percheron. The horse has sloping shoulders, a wide chest , muscular neck , powerful hindquarters , strong legs , and a short , straight back. They're tall and scary, but they are harmless , wouldn't hurt a fly. When I grow up, I want to become a Percheron breeder !//

//__Kristina the Girl King__// //This book is AMAZING! It is about the girl king of Sweden. Funny, isn't it? Since no young prince was born (that's what everybody wanted, a prince) Kristina was tought to be a king. Her mother despised her (I mean, HATED). But she did become king. FOR FOUR YEARS! A very short time. She decided that she didn't like governing the country, so she left the throne a little later. Soon her cousin, Karl was crowned king. Kristina then moved out of the country and became christian. She died when she was only 62. sad, huh. THIS BASED ON A IS A TRUE STORY.

__The Tree__ Have you ever heard of a Beech Tree? Or a Conker Tree ( horse-chestnut). Weird, huh. In this book, each tree has a poem written next to it. (reciting the Conker Tree poem) __The Conker Tree__ conkers in the autumn candles in the spring I loved this non-fiction book. Of course, I like all non-fiction books! (the trees in this book) the Conker the Willow the Fir the Beech the Birch the Plane the Elm the Apple the Oak//
